Limited drought tolerance in the neotropical seasonally dry forest plants impairs future species richness

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Global climate change will likely modify the plant assemblages of the Neotropical seasonally dry forest based on the physiological capabilities of the species. Abstract Neotropical seasonal dry forest (NSDF) is one of the most threatened ecosystems according to global climate change predictions.

Gall responses to drying habitats: Insights from the community of galling herbivores associated with the superhost Caryocar brasiliense Cambess. (Caryocaraceae)

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Drying processes in the Brazilian palm swamps or Veredas, impact the gall community in adjacent vegetation by reducing the abundance of more sensitive galls, while more resilient galls acclimate to increased dryness by developing thicker protective tissues. Abstract Galls are new plant organs formed in response to the stimuli of gall‐inducing organisms,

Gastritis over Gastrisus Sharp (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Xanthopygina): Resolving a major taxonomic impediment with phylogenomics

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, EarlyView.
Comprehensive phylogeny of Xanthopygina rove beetles (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae), including 30 of 33 genera, was generated by anchored hybrid enrichment of 1229 nuclear, protein‐encoding loci. We resolved nine major clades within Xanthopygina, including the new Leptodiastemus group, and successfully delineated a monophyletic concept of Gastrisus ...

Phylogenomic approach to integrative taxonomy resolves a century‐old taxonomic puzzle and the evolutionary history of the Acromyrmex octospinosus species complex

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, EarlyView.
A comprehensive, integrative study approach combining morphology, population genetics, phylogenetics and biogeography revealed that the Acromyrmex octospinosus species complex consists of two species: A. octospinosus and its social parasite A. insinuator.

Phylogenomics reveals the timescale of diversification in Amblycera

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, EarlyView.
Next‐generation sequencing changes the higher taxonomy of Amblycera (Insecta: Phthiraptera). Families Trimenoponidae and Gyropidae merge into Gyropidae; Trinotonidae is a separate family; several genera are paraphyletic. The ancestral host of Amblycera was likely a bird; Amblycera switched to mammals twice.

Evolutionary systematics of the Staphylininae rove beetles (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) resolved by integration of phylogenomics, comparative morphology and historical biogeography

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, EarlyView.
Higher classification of the rove beetle subfamily Staphylininae is revised based on novel phylogenomic, morphological and biogeographic evidence. Four new subtribes are described for Staphylininae; of them, two are for the tribe Tanygnathinini and two are for the tribe Staphylinini, and both tribes changed in composition due to other novelties ...

Phylogenomics and revised classification of Lymexyloidea and Tenebrionoidea (Coleoptera: Polyphaga: Cucujiformia)

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, EarlyView.
Using a large‐scale phylogenomic dataset, we provide the robustly supported phylogeny of the wider Tenebrionoid clade, with Lymexyloidea sister to the mordelloid clade (Mordellidae and Ripiphoridae) + remaining Tenebrionoidea. Lymexyloidea contained two newly circumscribed families, each of them with two subfamilies, and both Mordellidae and ...
