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 …

Butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera) are one of the major superradiations of insects,
comprising nearly 160,000 described extant species. As herbivores, pollinators, and prey …

The circadian rhythm of behavior has interested many researchers in the past decades, yet
amazingly little is known on the evolution of natural variation in circadian rhythms of …

Butterflies and moths constitute some of the most popular and charismatic insects.
Lepidoptera include approximately 160 000 described species, many of which are important …

The advent of next-generation sequencing technology has allowed for thecollection of large
portions of the genome for phylogenetic analysis. Hybrid enrichment and transcriptomics are …

Targeted enrichment of conserved genomic regions is a popular method for collecting large
amounts of sequence data from non‐model taxa for phylogenetic, phylogeographic and …

We introduce molecularevolution. org, a publicly available gateway for high-throughput,
maximum-likelihood phylogenetic analysis powered by grid computing. The gateway …

The backbone phylogeny of Lepidoptera remains unresolved, despite strenuous recent
morphological and molecular efforts. Molecular studies have focused on nuclear protein …

We test the limits of the spider superfamily Araneoidea and reconstruct its interfamilial
relationships using standard molecular markers. The taxon sample (363 terminals) …

Abstract Background Ultraconserved elements (UCEs) have been successfully used in
phylogenomics for a variety of taxa, but their power in phylogenetic inference has yet to be …
