Insects are the most speciose group of animals, but the phylogenetic relationships of many
major lineages remain unresolved. We inferred the phylogeny of insects from 1478 protein-…

Hymenoptera (sawflies, wasps, ants, and bees) are one of four mega-diverse insect orders,
comprising more than 153,000 described and possibly up to one million undescribed extant …

The late Palaeozoic is a pivotal period for the evolution of terrestrial ecosystems. Generalised
warming and aridification trends resulted in profound floral and faunal turnover as well as …

For almost 30 years, there have been active discussions about the taxonomic impediment
and the challenge this represents to address the current human-induced biodiversity crisis. …

The use of the functional feeding group–damage type system for analyzing arthropod and
pathogen interactions with plants has transformed our understanding of herbivory in fossil …

The Eumetabola (Endopterygota (also known as Holometabola) plus Paraneoptera) 1 have
the highest number of species of any clade, and greatly contribute to animal species …

The occurrence of arthropods in amber exclusively from the Cretaceous and Cenozoic is
widely regarded to be a result of the production and preservation of large amounts of tree resin …

Phylogenetic relationships among subgroups of cockroaches and termites are still matters of
debate. Their divergence times and major phenotypic transitions during evolution are also …

… The diversity and complexity of plant–insect interactions at Menat suggest that the net effects
of the K–T extinction were less at this greater distance from the Chicxulub, Mexico, impact …

Background The latest advancements in DNA sequencing technologies have facilitated the
resolution of the phylogeny of insects, yet parts of the tree of Holometabola remain …
