Acrididae; X chromosome; autosomes; chromosome aberrations; crossing over; grasshoppers; internal transcribed spacers; karyotyping; male genitalia; models; monophyly; sympatry; topology
Abstract:
... In an attempt to unveil the origin of neo‐sex chromosomes in Ronderosia Cigliano grasshoppers, we performed a combined phylogenetic analysis based on morphological (external morphology and male genitalia) and molecular data (COI, COII, 16S and ITS2) to explore the chromosome evolution within the genus. We also analysed the distributional patterns of the various Ronderosia species and considered th ...

Cretaceous period; adults; amber; fossils; habitats; lacewings; larvae; new genus; phylogeny; South America
Abstract:
... Nemopteridae are a charismatic family of lacewings distinguished by specialization of morphology in both larvae and adults as well as in their biology and behaviour. The evolutionary history of Nemopteridae is largely unknown due to the scarcity of fossil records. Here we report a new genus and species of Nemopteridae (Cretocroce xiai gen. et sp.n.) based on an exquisitely preserved adult specimen ...

Abstract:
... Widely known for pest species that include major modulators of temperate forests, the genus Choristoneura is part of the species‐rich tribe Archipini of leafroller moths (Tortricidae). Delimitation of the genus has remained unresolved because no phylogeny has included species endemic to Africa and studies have often omitted the type species of the genus. Further taxonomic confusion has been genera ...

Cimbicidae; Palearctic region; adults; body size; monophyly; paraphyly; polyphyly; sawflies; South America
Abstract:
... The Cimbicidae is a small family including the largest extant true sawflies (Tenthredinoidea). It comprises four subfamilies, three of which have a northern hemisphere distribution (Abiinae, Cimbicinae – Holarctic/Oriental; Corynidinae – Palaearctic), whereas the Pachylostictinae are restricted to South America. No previous attempts have been made to evaluate the subfamily classification in a clad ...

Abstract:
... Heracula discivitta Moore is an uncommon moth species currently recorded from India, Nepal and China. Although this species has traditionally been placed in Lymantriinae, its systematic position in Macroheterocera has been enigmatic due to its unique morphological features. Here we used molecular and morphological data to explore the systematic position of H. discivitta. Our molecular phylogenetic ...

Abstract:
... Fungus‐farming ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) have become model systems for exploring questions regarding the evolution of symbiosis. However, robust phylogenetic studies of both the ant agriculturalists and their fungal cultivars are necessary for addressing whether or not observed ant–fungus associations are the result of coevolution and, if so, whether that coevolution has been strict or diffus ...

However, within the resulting clade (Neuropteroidea) the proposed sister‐group relationship between the highly specialized endoparasitic Strepsiptera and the ...

Abstract:
... Insect–host fungus associations are important ecological features that affect population dynamics and interspecific interactions. However, details of host fungus relationships in fungivorous beetles remain unclear due to incompletely revised taxonomy and insufficient host records. We conducted a taxonomic study of the ciid beetle Octotemnus laminifrons (Coleoptera: Ciidae) and its cryptic species ...

Abstract:
... The phylogeny of the fungus gnat family Mycetophilidae (Diptera) is reconstructed with a focus on the species‐rich and taxonomically difficult subfamilies Gnoristinae and Mycomyinae. The multigene phylogenetic analyses are based on five nuclear (18S, 28S, CAD, MCS, ITS2) and four mitochondrial (12S, 16S, COI, CytB) gene markers. The analyses strongly support the monophyly of Mycetophilidae and the ...

Abstract:
... Phylogenetic studies addressing relationships among chrysidid wasps have been limited. There are no hypotheses proposed for the Neotropical lineages of Chrysidini other than the classic cladogram published in the 1990s by Kimsey and Bohart. Herein we present a cladistic analysis based on 64 morphological characters coded for 54 species of Chrysidini, 32 of them being Ipsiura and 22 representing Ca ...

Abstract:
... The Oriental tribe Aeromachini (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae: Hesperiinae) is diverse and widespread, but its monophyly and circumscription remain unresolved. In this study, we inferred phylogenetic relationships within the tribe using two mitochondrial (16S and COI‐COII) and two nuclear genes (EF‐1α and Wingless) from 71 samples representing all of the known genera of Aeromachini (s.l.).
