Evolution of Odonata, with Special Reference to Coenagrionoidea (Zygoptera)
A phylogeny including 26 families of Odonata is presented based on data from large and small subunit nuclear and mitochondrial ribosomal RNAs and part of the nuclear EF-1α. Data were analyzed using Bayesian methods. Extant Zygoptera and Anisoptera are monophyletic.
