Journal ArticleDOI
Flightlessness in insects
TL;DR: The evolution of wings is heralded as the most important event in the diversification of insects, yet flight-wing loss has occurred in nearly all pterygote insect orders.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cladistic biogeography of the Mexican transition zone
C. J. Marshall,James K. Liebherr +1 more
TL;DR: Biogeographic relationships among nine montane areas of endemism across the transition zone between North and South America are analysed cladistically based on phylogenetic hypotheses of thirty‐three resident monophyletic taxa of insects, fish, reptiles, and plants.

TL;DR: Collecting biological specimens for scientific studies came under scrutiny when B. A. Minteer and colleagues suggested that this practice plays a significant role in species extinctions.
Inferring phylogenetic relationships within Carabidae (Insecta, Coleoptera) from characters of the female reproductive tract
James K. Liebherr,Kipling Will +1 more
TL;DR: Characters of the female reproductive tract, ovipositor, and abdomen are analyzed using cladi stic parsimony for a comprehensive representation of carabid beetle tribes and the resulting cladogram is rooted at the family Trachypachidae.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gene flow in ground beetles (coleoptera: carabidae) of differing habitat preference and flight-wing development.
TL;DR: In at least one species, the distribution of stable infraspecific polymorphisms indicates that the high estimate of present‐day gene flow is likely to be due to historical gene flow and not to present‐ day conditions.
