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 …

Premise of the Study Large phylogenies can help shed light on macroevolutionary patterns
that inform our understanding of fundamental processes that shape the tree of life. These …

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 …

The phylogeny of insects has been both extensively studied and vigorously debated for over
a century. A relatively accurate deep phylogeny had been produced by 1904. It was not …

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 …

Based on the recent revised generic classification of the tribe Epilachnini (Szawaryn et al.
2015), all 27 genera are re-described, diagnosed, illustrated, and included in an …

A large‐scale phylogenetic study is presented for C ucujoidea (C oleoptera), a diverse
superfamily of beetles that historically has been taxonomically difficult. This study is the most …

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 …

Mitochondrial genomes are readily sequenced with recent technology and thus evolutionary
lineages can be densely sampled. This permits better phylogenetic estimates and …
