Journal ArticleDOI
The fine structure of the female reproductive system of Zorotypus caudelli Karny (Zoraptera)
TL;DR: The general structure of the female genital system of Zorotypus caudelli is described and the enlarged calyx and the temporary presence of long fringes on the eggs are potential autapomorphies of Z. caUDelli or may indicate relationships with other Zorotypesus species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenomics of the superfamily Dytiscoidea (Coleoptera: Adephaga) with an evaluation of phylogenetic conflict and systematic error
Alexandros Vasilikopoulos,Michael Balke,Rolf G. Beutel,Alexander Donath,Lars Podsiadlowski,James M. Pflug,Robert M. Waterhouse,Karen Meusemann,Karen Meusemann,Ralph S. Peters,Hermes E. Escalona,Christoph Mayer,Shanlin Liu,Lars Hendrich,Yves Alarie,David T. Bilton,David T. Bilton,Fenglong Jia,Xin Zhou,David R. Maddison,Oliver Niehuis,Bernhard Misof +21 more
TL;DR: A phylogenomic approach is used to demonstrate that Aspidytidae are indeed monophyletic, as it is inferred this phylogenetic relationship from analyzing nucleotide sequence data filtered for compositional heterogeneity and from analyzing amino-acid sequence data.
Journal ArticleDOI
The phylogeny of Coleopterida (Hexapoda) – morphological characters and molecular phylogenies
Rolf G. Beutel,Hans Pohl,Evgeny V. Yan,Evgeny V. Yan,Eric Anton,Si-Pei Liu,Adam Ślipiński,Duane D. McKenna,Frank Friedrich +8 more
TL;DR: A large morphological dataset comprising external and internal features of adults and immature stages is presented here and analysed phylogenetically, indicating that a complex feeding apparatus suitable for saprophagy and sporophagy was ancestral in Coleoptera, with secondary reduction in Archostemata and Adephaga.
Journal ArticleDOI
Description of the larva of Rhipsideigma raffrayi (Coleoptera: Archostemata), with phylogenetic and functional implications
TL;DR: A clade, which comprises Rhipsideigma, Tenomerga and probably other genera of Cupedidae with hitherto unknown larvae, is well supported by larval apomorphies such as the broadened prothorax, the presence of coxal asperities and the absence of a distinct lateral longitudinal bulge.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ocellar atavism in Coleoptera: plesiomorphy or apomorphy?
TL;DR: The presence of these features in the ground-plan of Coleoptera is dependent on the confirmation of the presence of ocelli in Archostemata (Jurodidae?) and a robust phylogenetic hypothesis for the order.
