In the last decade and a half, advances in genetic sequencing technologies have
revolutionized systematics, transforming the field from studying morphological characters or …

Until recently, deep-level phylogeny in Lepidoptera, the largest single radiation of plant-
feeding insects, was very poorly understood. Over the past two decades, building on a …

The rich diversity of morphology and behavior displayed across primate species provides an
informative context in which to study the impact of genomic diversity on fundamental …

The order Hymenoptera (wasps, ants, sawflies, and bees) represents one of the most
diverse animal lineages, but whether specific key innovations have contributed to its …

Thanks to the development of high‐throughput sequencing technologies, target enrichment
sequencing of nuclear ultraconserved DNA elements (UCEs) now allows routine inference …

Targeted enrichment of conserved and ultraconserved genomic elements allows universal
collection of phylogenomic data from hundreds of species at multiple time scales (< 5 Ma to> …

Summary The stinging wasps (Hymenoptera: Aculeata) are an extremely diverse lineage of
hymenopteran insects, encompassing over 70,000 described species and a diversity of life …

Massively parallel DNA sequencing offers many benefits, but major inhibitory cost factors
include:(1) start-up (ie, purchasing initial reagents and equipment);(2) buyin (ie, getting the …

Targeted enrichment of conserved genomic regions (eg ultraconserved elements or UCEs)
has emerged as a promising tool for inferring evolutionary history in many organismal …

Chalcidoidea are mostly parasitoid wasps that include as many as 500 000 estimated
species. Capturing phylogenetic signal from such a massive radiation can be daunting …
