Aquatic insects are dramatically underrepresented in genomic research

TL;DR: It is argued that the limited availability of aquatic insect genomes is not due to practical limitations—e.g., small body sizes or overly complex genomes—but instead reflects a lack of research interest and should be expanded to gain key molecular insight into insect diversification and empower future research.
Journal ArticleDOI

Advances using molecular data in insect systematics.

TL;DR: The size of molecular datasets has been growing exponentially since the mid 1980s, and new technologies have now dramatically increased the slope of this increase, and the authors are approaching a consensus on the higher level insect phylogeny.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phylogenomics changes our understanding about earwig evolution

TL;DR: A phylogenetic reversal among the major earwig lineages is not contradicted by morphological arguments but results in far‐reaching reinterpretations of the dermapteran ground plan, corroborate the monophyly of Eudermaptera within Epidermaptera and the paraphyly of several traditional families.
