Incomplete lineage sorting and long-branch attraction confound phylogenomic inference of Pancrustacea

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution
IntroductionThe phylogenetic relationships within Pancrustacea (including Crustacea and Hexapoda) remain elusive despite analyses using various molecular data sets and analytical approaches over the past decade.

Mandible composition and properties in two selected praying mantises (Insecta, Mantodea)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Insects process their food with their cuticle‐based mouthparts. These feeding structures reflect their diversity and can, in some cases, showcase adaptations in material composition, mechanical properties, and shape to suit their specific dietary preferences.

The Evolution of Collembola Higher Taxa (Arthropoda, Hexapoda) Based on Mitogenome Data

open access: yesDiversity, 2022
Mitogenomes represent useful tools for investigating the phylogeny of many metazoan clades. Regarding Collembola, the use of mitogenomics has already shown promising results, but few published works include sufficient taxon sampling to study its ...

Dietary adaptations along the northern limit of distribution: what does the smooth snake Coronella austriaca eat in Norway? Metabarcoding of stomach content and visual analysis of faeces

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Understanding how species survive at their poleward limits of distribution is of interest in species conservation, particularly in light of global warming and predictions of shifting distributions of both predators and prey species. How species adapt to high latitudes and to future climate changes will be impacted both by direct interactions with the ...

Some misconceptions or preconceived ideas on the history of the Insects

open access: yesBIO Web of Conferences, 2015
The Hexapoda is the most diverse clade of the history of life. They cannot be considered as the oldest terrestrial animals and the first Hexapoda were small apterous animals of the Devonian soil fauna, apparently not very diverse and “dominated” by ...

Revealing pancrustacean relationships: Phylogenetic analysis of ribosomal protein genes places Collembola (springtails) in a monophyletic Hexapoda and reinforces the discrepancy between mitochondrial and nuclear DNA markers

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2008
Background In recent years, several new hypotheses on phylogenetic relations among arthropods have been proposed on the basis of DNA sequences. One of the challenged hypotheses is the monophyly of hexapods.

The Metathoracic Pterygoda of the Hexapoda and Their Relation to the Wings [PDF]

open access: yesThe American Naturalist, 1901
ON the anterior margin of the prothorax and mesothorax of the Lepicloptera are two small sclerites known as the patagium and tegula, respectively; while in certain other orders of Hexapocla (Hymenoptera, Neuroptera, and Trichoptera) a small piece has been found at the base of the mesothoracic wing which has been consiclered equivalent to the tegula ...

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Cytisus scoparius*

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, EarlyView.
Broom is an attractive and common native plant across Britain, Ireland and most of Europe, and yet it is considered a harmful and invasive weed around the rest of the world. This is aided by broom thriving on poor dry soils, helped by using green stems for photosynthesis and having root nodules to fix nitrogen.
