Untangling the evolution of soldier beetles (Coleoptera: Cantharidae) and the evaluation of the morphological phylogenetic signal in a soft‐bodied elateroid lineage

Cladistics, Volume 39, Issue 6, Page 548-570, December 2023., 2023
Abstract This study addresses the long‐standing uncertainty about the internal classification of soldier beetles (Elateroidea: Cantharidae). Four datasets were compiled and analysed: 66 genes for 14 terminals, 15 mtDNA genes for 79 terminals, one mtDNA and two rRNA genes for 217 terminals, and barcodes for 576 terminals.

Theme and variation in the evolution of insect sex determination

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 340, Issue 2, Page 162-181, March 2023., 2023
Graphical abstract Sex determination and dimorphic somatic differentiation are common in insects, such as the milkweed bugs (Oncopeltus fasciatus) shown here. Variation in the functions and structure of genes implicated in insect sex determination is not uniformly distributed.

Habitat suitability of neotenic net‐winged beetles (Coleoptera: Lycidae) in China using combined ecological models, with implications for biological conservation

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 28, Issue 12, Page 2806-2823, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Aim China has dozens of well‐recognized biodiversity hotspots, but many more potential areas have not been estimated thoroughly, which is unfavourable for biodiversity conservation. Neotenic net‐winged beetles with limited dispersal ability generally occur in restricted ranges but rarely occur in China, which makes them ideal models for ...
