Journal ArticleDOI
The sperm pumps of Strepsiptera and Antliophora (Hexapoda)
Frank Hünefeld,Rolf G. Beutel +1 more
TL;DR: Male genital structures of representatives of Strepsiptera, Siphonaptera and Diptera are described in detail, with special emphasis on sperm pumps, and functional interpretations are presented based on the morphological observations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Progress, pitfalls and parallel universes: a history of insect phylogenetics.
TL;DR: The phylogeny of insects has been both extensively studied and vigorously debated for over a century, but was not substantially improved in topology until recently when phylogenomics settled many long-standing controversies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insect phylogenomics: results, problems and the impact of matrix composition
TL;DR: The results suggest a monophyletic origin of Polyneoptera and Eumetabola (Paraneoptera + Holometabola), and the first phylogenomic expressed sequence tags data for stick insects and webspinners is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Head morphology of Osmylus fulvicephalus (Osmylidae, Neuroptera) and its phylogenetic implications
TL;DR: The present study underlines the severe shortage of detailed morphological data on the adults of Neuroptera and suggests intensive study of adult structures is required for a solid reconstruction of the phylogeny of neuroptera, especially of the hemerobiform lineage of Neurooptera.
Journal ArticleDOI
The systematic position of Aspidytidae, the diversification of Dytiscoidea (Coleoptera, Adephaga) and the phylogenetic signal of third codon positions
TL;DR: There was a significant increase in the diversification rate at the base of the richest families (Noteridae and Dytiscidae), which could be associated with the development of simultaneous stroke and higher swimming performance, although data on the swimming behaviour of some basal groups of Noteridae are incomplete.
