Phylogeny of the Coleoptera Based on Morphological Characters of Adults and Larvae
John F. Lawrence,Adam Slipinski,Ainsley E. Seago,Margaret K. Thayer,Alfred F. Newton,Adriana E. Marvaldi +5 more
TL;DR: In order to infer phylogenetic relationships within the extraordinarily speciesrich order Coleoptera, a cladistic analysis is performed, in which 516 adult and larval morphological characters are scored for 359 beetle taxa, representing 314 families or subfamilies plus seven outgroup taxa representing seven holometabolan orders.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A phylogeny of beetles based on DNA sequence data from eight nuclear genes, including six single‐copy nuclear protein‐coding genes, for 367 species representing 172 of 183 extant families provides a uniquely well‐resolved temporal and phylogenetic framework for studying patterns of innovation and diversification in Coleoptera.
Journal ArticleDOI
Weevils, weevils, weevils everywhere*
TL;DR: The evolutionary history of weevils is mapped as a sequence of key evolutionary innovations that together have led to the phenomenal diversification and success ofWeevils.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temporal lags and overlap in the diversification of weevils and flowering plants
TL;DR: A large-scale molecular phylogeny for weevils (herbivorous beetles in the superfamily Curculionoidea), one of the most diverse lineages of insects, is presented, based on ≈8 kilobases of DNA sequence data from a worldwide sample including all families and subfamilies, to suggest a deep and complex history of coevolution between weevil and angiosperms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular and morphological phylogenetics of weevils (coleoptera, curculionoidea): do niche shifts accompany diversification?
TL;DR: The phylogeny estimate based on combined 18S rDNA and morphological data suggests that diversification in weevils was accompanied by niche shifts in host-plant associations and larval habits, and conservatism is evident in larval feeding habits, particularly in the host tissue consumed.
