Anchored Phylogenomics, Evolution and Systematics of Elateridae: Are All Bioluminescent Elateroidea Derived Click Beetles? [PDF]
Biology, 2021 Click-beetles (Coleoptera: Elateridae) are an abundant, diverse, and economically important beetle family that includes bioluminescent species. To date, molecular phylogenies have sampled relatively few taxa and genes, incompletely resolving subfamily ...

An unusual elateroid lineage from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber (Coleoptera: Elateroidea) [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 We here report a new elateroid, Anoeuma lawrencei Li, Kundrata and Cai gen. et sp. nov., from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber. Though superficially similar to some soft-bodied archostematans, Anoeuma could be firmly placed in the polyphagan superfamily ...

Enigmatic Campyloxenus: Shedding light on the delayed origin of bioluminescence in ancient Gondwanan click beetles [PDF]
iScience, 2023 Summary: Gondwanan elaterids, previously thought to be unrelated, include bioluminescent Campyloxenus earlier placed in bioluminescent Pyrophorinae. Genomic data suggest close relationships between Gondwanan groups.

The complete mitochondrial genome sequence and phylogenetic analysis of Cantharis plagiata (Coleoptera, Canthridae) [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020 The complete mitochondrial genome of a soldier beetle, Cantharis plagiata (Coleoptera, Canthridae), was sequenced. The mitogenome is a double-stranded circular molecule, and the obtained sequence had 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA ...
