Complete mitochondrial genomes have been shown to be reliable markers for phylogeny
reconstruction among diverse animal groups. However, the relative difficulty and high cost …

A phylogenetic tree at the species level is still far off for highly diverse insect orders, including
the Coleoptera, but the taxonomic breadth of public sequence databases is growing. In …

Metagenomic analyses are challenging in metazoans, but high-copy number and repeat
regions can be assembled from low-coverage sequencing by “genome skimming,” which is …

The cryptic species that make up the Euwallacea fornicatus species complex can be readily
distinguished via their DNA sequences. Until recently, it was believed that the Hawaiian …

Advances in phylogenomics contribute toward resolving long-standing evolutionary
questions. Notwithstanding, genetic diversity contained within more than a billion biological …

material (fruits, pods, stems, bark and seeds) or reared from infested wood in the laboratory (Gillett …

Ambrosia beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae and Platypodinae) rely on a
symbiosis with fungi for their nutrition. Symbiotic fungi are preserved and transported in …

The fauna of Phanaeini of the northeast of Brazil was investigated through fieldwork in the
States of Ceará, Maranhão and Piauí, and through study of preserved material from other …
