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 …

Recent progress in beetle palaeontology has incited us to re‐address the evolutionary
history of the group. The Permian† Tshekardocoleidae had elytra that covered the posterior …

In the world of insects, beetles rule. Evolutionary and palaeoecological interpretations using
fossil beetles from Cretaceous ambers have become increasingly frequent in recent years …

The beetle series S taphyliniformia exhibits extraordinary taxonomic, ecological and
morphological diversity. To gain further insight into staphyliniform relationships and …

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

Beetles are arguably the most diverse group of animals on Earth with over 400 000

Pselaphinae is an exceptionally species‐rich, globally distributed subfamily of minute rove
beetles (Staphylinidae), many of which are inquilines of social insects. Deducing the factors …

Jacobsoniidae is a small but perplexing beetle family, with unknown phylogenetic
relationships to other polyphagan Coleoptera. To date, only a single fossil jacobsoniid has …

A review of the faunistic composition of the coleopterous taphocenoses from Bembridge
Marls is given. Only two families (Cupedidae and Carabidae) have been recorded from this …

The superfamily Staphylinoidea includes the families Hydraenidae, Ptiliidae, Agyrtidae,
