When faced with the daunting and exciting task of studying biodiversity, one must
necessarily come to terms with a few challenging knowledge gaps, the so‐called …

The beetle suborder A dephaga has been the subject of many phylogenetic reconstructions
utilizing a variety of data sources and inference methods. However, no strong consensus …

The beetle suborder Adephaga is traditionally divided into two sections on the basis of
habitat, terrestrial Geadephaga and aquatic Hydradephaga. Monophyly of both groups is …

The beetle superfamily Dytiscoidea, placed within the suborder Adephaga, comprises six
families. The phylogenetic relationships of these families, whose species are aquatic …

A comprehensive higher‐level phylogeny of diving beetles (D ytiscidae) based on larval
characters is presented. Larval morphology and chaetotaxy of a broad range of genera and …

Abstract Although the Dytiscidae (Coleoptera) are among the most common insect
inhabitants of freshwaters, knowledge of their larval morphology is scanty throughout the …

Impressive progress has been made recently in the systematics of holometabolous insects.
Nevertheless, important questions remain controversial, and uncertainties concerning the …

The evolution of the coleopteran suborder Adephaga is discussed based on a robust
phylogenetic background. Analyses of morphological characters yield results nearly …

Diving beetles and their allies are an almost ubiquitous group of freshwater predators.
