Beetles, barcodes and big data: A deep dive into the phylogeny of Harpalinae (Carabidae)
The largest phylogenetic study of the Carabidae to date is provided with a focus on the Harpalinae. Using novel mitogenomes with a site‐based approach combined with data mining from GenBank and BOLD, we achieve dense coverage of the major Harpalinae sensu lato clades.
