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 ...

Cephinae is traditionally divided into three tribes and about 24 genera based on morphology and host utilization. There has been no study testing the monophyly of taxa under a strict phylogenetic criterion.

Incongruent phylogenetic hypotheses and character conflicts in morphology : the root and early branches of the hexapodan tree [PDF]
Before the turn of the millenium the investigation of phylogenetic relationships was revolutionized by two major inputs, the use of molecular sequence data for phylogenetic reconstruction, paralleled by the sophistication of computer aided reconstruction
Pass, Günther, Szucsich, Nikolaus Urban

Phylogenetic relationships are reconstructed among the Liriomyza leafminers using phylogenomic analysis of nuclear gene loci obtained by anchored hybrid enrichment (AHE). Trees inferred using multiple data types and analysis methods are congruent and individual clade support confirms morphological species groups and relationships among them.

Molecular phylogeny of Triatomini (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Triatominae)
Background The Triatomini and Rhodniini (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) tribes include the most diverse Chagas disease vectors; however, the phylogenetic relationships within the tribes remain obscure.

Are microbes fundamentally different than macroorganisms? Convergence and a possible case for neutral phenotypic evolution in testate amoeba (Amoebozoa: Arcellinida) [PDF]
This study reveals extensive phenotypic convergence based on the non-monophyly of genera and morphospecies of testate (shelled) amoebae. Using two independent markers, small subunit ribosomal DNA (ssu-rDNA) and mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (COI ...

Ecdysozoan mitogenomics: evidence for a common origin of the legged invertebrates, the Panarthropoda [PDF]
Ecdysozoa is the recently recognized clade of molting animals that comprises the vast majority of extant animal species and the most important invertebrate model organisms—the fruit fly and the nematode worm.

As climate change accelerates, breeding resilient crops is urgent. The date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.), a crucial 18 billion USD fruit crop, underpins North African and West Asian oasis agroecosystems. This study investigates the genetics and morphology of its closest wild relative, the endemic and endangered Cape Verde date palm (Phoenix atlantica ...

Phylogenomic insights into the origin of the Norton grape
Challenges in viticulture such as disease resistance have renewed interest in underutilized cultivars. The Norton grape, one of the earliest popular North American grape cultivars, holds the potential to produce exceptional wine while being resistant to pests and disease. Yet, the ancestry of the Norton grape is controversial.
