The mitochondrial (mt) genome is, to date, the most extensively studied genomic system in
insects, outnumbering nuclear genomes tenfold and representing all orders versus very few …

Most species on Earth are insects and thus, understanding their evolutionary relationships is
key to understanding the evolution of life. Insect relationships are increasingly well …

Here we present a phylogeny of beetles (I nsecta: C oleoptera) based on DNA sequence
data from eight nuclear genes, including six single‐copy nuclear protein‐coding genes, for …

Over the past decade the mitochondrial (mt) genome has become the most widely used
genomic resource available for systematic entomology. While the availability of other types …

Neuroptera (lacewings) and allied orders Megaloptera (dobsonflies, alderflies) and
Raphidioptera (snakeflies) are predatory insects and together make up the clade …

Background The latest advancements in DNA sequencing technologies have facilitated the
resolution of the phylogeny of insects, yet parts of the tree of Holometabola remain …

After decades of debate, a mostly satisfactory resolution of relationships among the 11
recognized holometabolan orders of insects has been reached based on nuclear genes …

Members of the Calliphoridae (blowflies) are significant for medical and veterinary
management, due to the ability of some species to consume living flesh as larvae, and for …

We present the largest morphological character set ever compiled for Holometabola. This
was made possible through an optimized acquisition of data. Based on our analyses and …

Despite their ecological significance as decomposers and their evolutionary significance as
the most speciose eusocial insect group outside the Hymenoptera, termite (Blattodea …
