Strepsiptera are obligate endoparasitoids that exhibit extreme sexual dimorphism and
parasitize seven orders and 33 families of Insecta. The adult males and the first instar larvae …

In order to infer phylogenetic relationships within the extraordinarily speciesrich order
Coleoptera, a cladistic analysis is performed, in which 516 adult and larval morphological …

Impressive progress has been made recently in the systematics of holometabolous insects.
Nevertheless, important questions remain controversial, and uncertainties concerning the …

Previous phylogenetic analyses of Strepsiptera have been limited to characters from only
males or first instar larvae, and by poor taxonomic sampling. This investigation is the first …

An evolutionary scenario for the enigmatic group Strepsiptera is provided, based on the
results of a comprehensive cladistic analysis of characters of all life stages. A recently …

An annotated taxonomic and nomenclatural catalogue of the insect order Strepsiptera is
presented. Known distributions and host associations are given as they are currently known …

The decline in morphological phylogenies has become a pronounced trend in contemporary
systematics due to a disregard for theoretical, methodological, conceptual, and …

Background The extraordinary morphology, reproductive and developmental biology, and
behavioral ecology of twisted wing parasites (order Strepsiptera) have puzzled biologists for …

The first definitive strepsipteran is reported from the Cretaceous, named Cretostylops engeli,
