BookDOI
Staphylinoidea Latreille, 1802
Vasily V. Grebennikov,Jäch,Rolf G. Beutel,J.A. Delgado,J.A. Diaz,W. Eugene Hall,Alfred F. Newton,S.T. O'Keefe,D.S. Sikes,M.K. Thayer +9 more
TL;DR: This first Coleoptera volume covers the suborders Archostemata, Myxophaga and Adephaga, and the basal series of Polyphaga, with information on world distribution, biology, morphology of all life stages, phylogeny and comments on taxonomy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Resolving insect phylogeny: The significance of cephalic structures of the Nannomecoptera in understanding endopterygote relationships.
TL;DR: The thrust of this investigation is to provide detailed anatomical data on nannochoristid larvae for a targeted inquiry into their phylogenetic affinities, and it is proposed that all nannomecopteran larvae will prove to be similar to this taxon in most if not all structural features of significance to a higher-level phylogenetic context.
Journal ArticleDOI
A longstanding entomological problem finally solved? Head morphology of Nannochorista (Mecoptera, Insecta) and possible phylogenetic implications
Rolf G. Beutel,E. Baum +1 more
TL;DR: The structure of the mouthparts indicates that adults of Nannochorista feed on fluids, and the loss of the mandibular muscles and the precerebral pharyngeal dilators are presumptive autapomorphies of the genus.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of methods for analysing insect structures - the role of morphology in the age of phylogenomics.
TL;DR: Morphology will continue to play a vital role in phylogenetic and evolutionary investigations and is the necessary basis for reconstructing character evolution on the phenotypic level and for developing complex evolutionary scenarios.
Journal ArticleDOI
An integrative phylogenomic approach to elucidate the evolutionary history and divergence times of Neuropterida (Insecta: Holometabola).

TL;DR: An extensive phylogenomic analyses consolidate several key aspects in the backbone phylogeny of Neuropterida, such as the basal placement of Coniopterygidae within Neuroptera and the monophyly of Osmyloidea, and provide new insights into the timing of diversification of neuropterida.
