Journal ArticleDOI
Single-copy nuclear genes resolve the phylogeny of the holometabolous insects
Brian M. Wiegmann,Michelle D. Trautwein,Jung Wook Kim,Brian K. Cassel,Matthew A. Bertone,Shaun L. Winterton,David K. Yeates +6 more
TL;DR: Evidence from nucleotide sequences of six single-copy nuclear protein coding genes used to reconstruct phylogenetic relationships and estimate evolutionary divergence times is presented, finding strong support for a close relationship between Coleoptera (beetles) and Strepsiptera, a previously proposed, but analytically controversial relationship.
Journal ArticleDOI
On wings of lace: Phylogeny and Bayesian divergence time estimates of Neuropterida (Insecta) based on morphological and molecular data
TL;DR: Megaloptera were found to be paraphyletic with respect to the rest of Neuroptera, calling into question the validity of the ordinal status for Megaloptera as presently defined, and the phylogenetic status and taxonomic composition of Polystoechotidae and Ithonidae are in need of re‐evaluation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of lacewings and allied orders using anchored phylogenomics (Neuroptera, Megaloptera, Raphidioptera)
Shaun L. Winterton,Alan R. Lemmon,Jessica P. Gillung,Ivonne J. Garzon,Davide Badano,Deon K. Bakkes,Laura C.V. Breitkreuz,Michael S. Engel,Emily Moriarty Lemmon,Xingyue Liu,Renato Jose Pires Machado,Jeffrey H. Skevington,John D. Oswald +12 more
TL;DR: Analysis of anchored hybrid enrichment (AHE) data under a variety of analytical parameters recovered a well‐resolved and strongly supported tree for the higher phylogeny of Neuropterida that is highly concordant with previous estimates based on DNA sequence data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interactions between nutrient status and weevil herbivory in the biological control of water hyacinth
Tim A. Heard,Shaun L. Winterton +1 more
TL;DR: Water hyacinth plants grown at higher nutrient concentration were superior hosts to Neochetina bruchi, and local nutrient enrichment of water may assist the establishment of control agents in low-nutrient waterbodies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mitochondrial phylogenomics illuminates the evolutionary history of Neuropterida
Yuyu Wang,Yuyu Wang,Xingyue Liu,Ivonne J. Garzón-Orduña,Shaun L. Winterton,Yan Yan,Ulrike Aspöck,Horst Aspöck,Ding Yang +8 more
TL;DR: A robust, fully resolved phylogeny and divergence time estimation for Neuropterida is presented with strong statistical support for almost all nodes and competing hypotheses regarding the life style of early neuropteridan larvae as either aquatic or terrestrial are evaluated.
