A reevaluation of †Tshecardocoleidae revealed that crucial character transformations took place in the Permian. Phylogenetic analyses show that Coleoptera excluding †Tshecardocoleidae are strongly supported as a clade (Mesocoleoptera). Taxon exclusion experiments demonstrate that †Tshecardocoleidae are crucial for understanding the early evolution of ...

Maritime midge radiations in the Pacific Ocean (Diptera: Chironomidae)
We identify and confirm eight transitions from freshwater to the marine realm in the Chironomidae, based on a fossil‐calibrated phylogenetic framework. We recognise for the first time an unexpected but robust sister group of Pontomyia to be a new clade of exclusively marine species, Yaetanytarsus, forming the sister group to the diverse and global ...

Comparison between transformers and convolutional models for fine-grained classification of insects [PDF]
Fine-grained classification is challenging due to the difficulty of finding discriminatory features. This problem is exacerbated when applied to identifying species within the same taxonomical class. This is because species are often sharing morphological characteristics that make them difficult to differentiate.

Phylogeny of embiopterans (Insecta)
AbstractA cladistic analysis of embiopterans, based on 157 species (representing 70% of the known genera) and 186 morphological characters, is presented, as well as a molecular analysis for 22 taxa using genes encoding 16S, 18S and 28S rDNA and COI.
