Journal ArticleDOI
Towards a new paradigm in mayfly phylogeny (Ephemeroptera): combined analysis of morphological and molecular data
T.H. Ogden,T.H. Ogden,Jean-Luc Gattolliat,Michel Sartori,A.H. Staniczek,T. Soldán,Michael F. Whiting +6 more
TL;DR: This study represents the first formal morphological and combined (morphological and molecular) phylogenetic analyses of the order Ephemeroptera and some recognized families and major lineages were not supported as monophyletic, mainly due to convergences within nymphal characters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogeny of earwigs (Insecta: Dermaptera) based on molecular and morphological evidence: reconsidering the classification of Dermaptera
TL;DR: Results indicate that the epizoic Hemimerus is not sister to the remaining Dermaptera, but rather nested as sister to Forficulidae + Chelisochidae, and support the paraphyly of Pygidicranidae and Spongiphoridae and the monophyly of Chelisoch Families, ForfICulidae, Anisolabididae and Labiduridae.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogeny of thrips (Insecta: Thysanoptera) based on five molecular loci
TL;DR: Molecular data support previous suggestions that Aeolothrip Families or Merothripidae could be a sister to the rest of Terebrantia and four of the six subfamilies are recovered as monophyletic, while the two largest subfam families are paraphyletic and require further study to understand their internal relationships.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic approaches for the analysis of mitochondrial genome sequence data in the Hymenoptera--a lineage with both rapidly and slowly evolving mitochondrial genomes.
TL;DR: The analysis of complete mitochondrial genome sequences holds promise for the resolution of hymenopteran superfamily relationships, and partitioned, Bayesian analysis of nucleotide data, excluding 3rd codon positions, recovered more of the uncontroversial relationships than any other approach.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mitochondrial genome organization and phylogeny of two vespid wasps.

TL;DR: Analysis of all available hymenopteran mitochondrial genome sequences recovered an uncontroversial phylogeny, one consistent with analyses of other types of data.
