Systematics reconstructs tempo and mode in biological evolution by resolving the
phylogenetic fabric of biodiversity. The staggering duration and complexity of evolution …

The recent advances in sequencing technologies, phylogenomics and divergence dating
methods call for an integrative review of the current state of Hymenoptera systematics. We …

The parasitoid lifestyle is largely regarded as a key innovation that contributed to the
evolutionary success and extreme species richness of the order Hymenoptera …

Abstract Hoverflies (Diptera: Syrphidae) are a diverse group of pollinators and a major
research focus in ecology, but their phylogenetic relationships remain incompletely known …

Using a fossilized birth–death model, a new phylogeny of the superfamily Evanioidea
(including ensign wasps, nightshade wasps and hatchet wasps) is proposed, with estimates …

Abstract Premise Astragalus (Fabaceae), with more than 3000 species, represents a
globally successful radiation of morphologically highly similar species predominant across …

Fossils provide unique opportunity to understand the tempo and mode of evolution and are
essential for modeling the history of lineage diversification. Here, we interrogate the …

We report the results of DNA barcoding week-long Malaise trap catches from 11 sites in
three Thai conservation areas, concentrating on the parasitoid Hymenoptera, particularly the …

Biogeographic patterns in the Southern Hemisphere have largely been attributed to vicariant
processes, but recent studies have challenged some of the classic examples of this …

Linking fossil species to the extant diversity is often a difficult task, and the correct
interpretation of character evidence is crucial for assessing their taxonomic placement. Here …
