TL;DR: The phylogeny of all major insect lineages reveals how and when insects diversified and provides a comprehensive reliable scaffold for future comparative analyses of evolutionary innovations among insects.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that flies experienced three episodes of rapid radiation—lower Diptera (220 Ma), lower Brachycera (180 Ma), and Schizophora (65 Ma)—and a number of life history transitions to hematophagy, phytophagy and parasitism in the history of fly evolution over 260 million y.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Phylogenetic Study of Adaptive Zones: Has Phytophagy Promoted Insect Diversification?
TL;DR: The adaptive-zone hypothesis predicts that if multiple lineages have invaded a new adaptive zone, they should be consistently more diverse than their (equally old) sister groups, when the latter retain the more primitive way of life.
Journal ArticleDOI
Single-copy nuclear genes resolve the phylogeny of the holometabolous insects
Brian M. Wiegmann,Michelle D. Trautwein,Jung Wook Kim,Brian K. Cassel,Matthew A. Bertone,Shaun L. Winterton,David K. Yeates +6 more
TL;DR: Evidence from nucleotide sequences of six single-copy nuclear protein coding genes used to reconstruct phylogenetic relationships and estimate evolutionary divergence times is presented, finding strong support for a close relationship between Coleoptera (beetles) and Strepsiptera, a previously proposed, but analytically controversial relationship.
Journal ArticleDOI
CONGRUENCE AND CONTROVERSY: Toward a Higher-Level Phylogeny of Diptera
TL;DR: Significant areas critical to future advances in understanding dipteran phylogeny include the relationships among the basal infraorders of Diptera and Brachycera and the relationships between the superfamilies of acalyptrates.
