Advances in insect phylogeny at the dawn of the postgenomic era
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 …

Conflict, convergent evolution, and the relative importance of immature and adult characters in endopterygote phylogenetics
We use two episodes from systematic history to illustrate how conflict between immature and
adult data was important for the development of phylogenetic systematics. A reference …

The evolutionary history of holometabolous insects inferred from transcriptome-based phylogeny and comprehensive morphological data
Background Despite considerable progress in systematics, a comprehensive scenario of the
evolution of phenotypic characters in the mega-diverse Holometabola based on a solid …

[PDF][PDF] A revised interpretation of attachment structures in Hexapoda with special emphasis on Mantophasmatodea
Characters of hexapod attachment structures were analysed cladistically together with 110
additional morphological characters of immatures and adults. The results suggest the …

'Stab, chase me, mate with me, seduce me': how widespread is traumatic insemination in Strepsiptera?
Traumatic insemination refers to mating in which males pierce the female's integument with
his penis for insemination. Strepsiptera are often listed as an example for this mode of …
