Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic analysis of Hydrophiloidea (Coleoptera: Polyphaga) based on molecular data and morphological characters of adults and immature stages
TL;DR: The divergent results of the different analyses show that important questions in the phylogeny of Hydrophiloidea such as for instance the placement of Spercheinae are still open.
Journal ArticleDOI
The evolution of insect sperm − an unusual character system in a megadiverse group
TL;DR: For the first time, sperm characters are coded for formal phylogenetic analyses and the mode of character reconstruction preferred here will be useful for the evaluation of specialized morphological character systems and strengthen the concept of evolutionary morphology.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Commenting on the accuracy of the dating analysis presented in work on the phylogeny of insects and providing a reanalysis of the data, Tong et al. replace log-normal priors with uniform priors and add a “roachoid” fossil as a calibration point.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thoracic morphology of adults of Derodontidae and Nosodendridae and its phylogenetic implications (Coleoptera)
TL;DR: The monophyly of Derodontidae and a sister‐group relationship between Peltastica and the remaining genera are confirmed and previous references to the family as ‘primitive’ are unjustified.
