Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative study of thoracic structures of adults of Hydrophiloidea and Histeroidea with phylogenetic implications (Coleoptera, Polyphaga)

TL;DR: Morphological data are presented as a list of characters and data matrix, and analysed together with other characters of adults, characters of larvae, and characters related to reproduction, habitats and feeding habits to unambiguously support the monophyly of the following clades of Hydrophiloidea and Histeroidea.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolutionary scenarios for unusual attachment devices of Phasmatodea and Mantophasmatodea (Insecta)

TL;DR: A placement of Phasmatodea as sister taxon of Orthoptera, Dictyoptera or a clade comprising both groups implies that the features in question have evolved independently in phasmids and MantophasMatodea.

Phylogenomics Resolves The Timing And Pattern Of Insect Evolution: Supplementary File Archives.

TL;DR: A phylogenetic analysis of protein-coding genes from all major insect orders and close relatives was performed by Misof et al. as discussed by the authors, who used this resolved phylogenetic tree together with fossil analysis to date the origin of insects to ~479 million years ago and to resolve longcontroversial subjects in insect phylogeny.
Journal ArticleDOI

The cephalic anatomy of workers of the ant species Wasmannia affinis (Formicidae, Hymenoptera, Insecta) and its evolutionary implications.

TL;DR: This study documents the head morphology of workers of the myrmicine Wasmannia affinis with optical microscopy, μ-computed tomography, scanning electron microscope, and 3D reconstruction, providing the first complete anatomical treatment of an ant head with a broad array of modern techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI

Head morphology of Caurinus (Boreidae, Mecoptera) and its phylogenetic implications.

TL;DR: External and internal head structures of Caurinus dectes were examined and described in detail and it is suggested that the origin of extrinsic maxillary muscles from the clypeus has probably evolved independently in Boreus and Hesperoboreus, and in Panorpa, respectively.
