The article focuses on the current state-of-the-art conditions of water beetle systematics,
including description of water beetle taxa, their evolutionary relationships and their use as …

Beetles have colonized water many times during their history, with some of these events
involving extensive evolutionary radiations and multiple transitions between land and water …

Background Bayesian relaxed-clock dating has significantly influenced our understanding of
the timeline of biotic evolution. This approach requires the use of priors on the branching …

The first comprehensive book in more than a century to reveal the diversity and natural
history of diving beetles. Among the hundreds of thousands of species of beetles, there is …

Triassic fossils are rare but crucial for understanding the early evolution of large insect
clades including beetles (Coleoptera). Their phylogenetic assignment is problematic …

Light represents one of the most reliable environmental cues in the biological world. In this
review we focus on the evolutionary consequences to changes in organismal photic …

Beetles are arguably the most diverse group of animals on Earth with over 400 000
described species. Yet the timing of main diversification events among these insects …

We used phylogenomic data and information from the beetle fossil record to reconstruct the
phylogeny and historical biogeography of Australasian longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae) in …

For a long time, New Caledonia was considered a continental island, a fragment of
Gondwana harbouring old clades that originated by vicariance and so were thought to be …

PREMISE OF THE STUDY: The clusioid clade (Malpighiales) has an ancient fossil record
(∼ 90 Ma) and extant representatives exhibit a pantropical distribution represented on all …
