Target enrichment of ultraconserved elements from arthropods provides a genomic perspective on relationships among Hymenoptera [PDF]
Molecular Ecology Resources, 2014 Gaining a genomic perspective on phylogeny requires the collection of data from many putatively independent loci collected across the genome. Among insects, an increasingly common approach to collecting this class of data involves transcriptome sequencing, because few insects have high-quality genome sequences available; assembling new genomes remains ...

Response to Zamani et al. (2020): The omission of critical data in the pursuit of “revolutionary” methods to accelerate the description of species [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2021 Here we respond to the criticisms leveled against a proposal that suggested an efficient solution to the taxonomic impediment. We clarify some of our objectives and demonstrate that many of the criticisms apply more to traditional approaches to taxonomy ...

Key innovations and the diversification of Hymenoptera
Nature Communications, 2023 Hymenoptera is an incredibly diverse order, with numerous behavioral and morphological innovations. Here, the authors compile a time-calibrated Hymenoptera phylogeny and find that secondary transitions to phytophagy, plant feeding, are associated with ...
