Advances in insect phylogeny at the dawn of the postgenomic era
Most species on Earth are insects and thus, understanding their evolutionary relationships is
key to understanding the evolution of life. Insect relationships are increasingly well …

Parametric and non-parametric masking of randomness in sequence alignments can be improved and leads to better resolved trees
Background Methods of alignment masking, which refers to the technique of excluding
alignment blocks prior to tree reconstructions, have been successful in improving the signal …

Phylogenetic analysis of mitochondrial protein coding genes confirms the reciprocal paraphyly of Hexapoda and Crustacea
Abstract Background The phylogeny of Arthropoda is still a matter of harsh debate among
systematists, and significant disagreement exists between morphological and molecular …

A comparative analysis of complete mitochondrial genomes among Hexapoda
S Simon, H Hadrys - Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2013 - Elsevier
With respect to bauplan radiation, species and taxa richness, hexapods have an
unassailable lead. But still, the phylogenetic relationships among the orders and infraorders …
