Genome-scale sequence data have invigorated the study of hybridization and introgression,
particularly in animals. However, outside of a few notable cases, we lack systematic tests for …

Simple Summary The hnRNP A/B family of proteins (comprised of A1, A2/B1, A3, and A0)
contributes to the regulation of the majority of cellular RNAs. Here, we provide a …

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 …

This study addresses the long‐standing uncertainty about the internal classification of
soldier beetles (Elateroidea: Cantharidae). Four datasets were compiled and analysed: 66 …

Background Blowflies are ubiquitous insects, often shiny and metallic, and the larvae of
many species provide important ecosystem services (eg, recycling carrion) and are used in …

The Alticini comprise 601 genera and 10,000 species, including plant pests. Their
phylogeny remains largely unresolved, inhibiting taxonomic stability, specimen identification …

Dragonflies and damselflies are among the earliest flying insects with extant
representatives. However, unraveling details of their long evolutionary history, such as egg …

Computational models of homologous protein groups are essential in sequence
bioinformatics. Due to the diversity and rapid evolution of viruses, the grouping of protein …

The Sarcophagidae (flesh flies) comprise a large and widely distributed radiation within the
Calyptratae (Diptera). Larval feeding habits are ecologically diverse and include …

Background The most species-rich radiation of animal life in the 66 million years following
the Cretaceous extinction event is that of schizophoran flies: a third of fly diversity including …
