Comparative mitogenome research revealed the phylogenetics and evolution of the superfamily Tenebrionoidea (Coleoptera: Polyphage). [PDF]
Ecol EvolIn the present study, we newly sequenced mtgenomes from 19 species belonging to Tenebrionoidea, and a total of 90 mitochondrial genomes from 16 families of Tenebrionoidea were used for phylogenetic analysis. The divergence time analysis suggests that Tenebrionoidea originated in the late Jurassic, Meloidae Mordellidae, Lagriidae, and Tenebrionidae in ...

An Enigmatic Cretaceous Beetle in Kachin Amber With Tentative Affinities to Pythidae (Coleoptera: Tenebrionoidea). [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe describe and illustrate a new tenebrionoid beetle from mid‐Cretaceous Kachin amber, Glyphonotum hsiaoi gen. et sp. nov. Based on morphological comparison and phylogenetic analyses, we tentatively place Glyphonotum in the extant family Pythidae, representing the first Mesozoic fossil of this family.

Habitat Association Predicts Population Connectivity and Persistence in Flightless Beetles: A Population Genomics Approach Within a Dynamic Archipelago. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT Habitat association has been proposed to affect evolutionary dynamics through its control on dispersal propensity, which is considered a key trait for lineage survival in habitats of low durational stability. The Habitat Constraint hypothesis predicts different micro‐ and macroevolutionary patterns for stable versus dynamic habitat specialists,
