Insects comprise over half of all described animal species. Together with the Protura
(coneheads), Collembola (springtails) and Diplura (two-pronged bristletails), insects form …

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 …

Beetles constitute the most biodiverse animal order with over 380 000 described species
and possibly several million more yet unnamed. Recent phylogenomic studies have arrived …

Beetles (Coleoptera) are the most diverse and species-rich group of insects, and a robust,
time-calibrated phylogeny is fundamental to understanding macroevolutionary processes …

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 …

Beetles occur in most terrestrial and freshwater habitats and a few occupy marine
environments. The most common life‐cycle type in beetles is holometaboly. More …

Cerambycidae (longhorn beetles) and related families in the superfamily Chrysomeloidea
are important components of forest ecosystems and play a key role in nutrient cycling and …

The species representation of public databases is growing rapidly and permits increasingly
detailed phylogenetic inferences. We present a supermatrix based on all gene sequences of …

This three-volume series represents a comprehensive treatment of the beetles of Australia, a
relatively under-studied fauna that includes many unusual and unique lineages found …

With the aim of wood production with negligible negative effects on biodiversity and
ecosystem processes, a silvicultural practice of selective logging with natural regeneration …
