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
The beetle gut: a hyperdiverse source of novel yeasts.
TL;DR: The distribution suggests that the some of the yeasts diversified by a process of horizontal transmission in the habitats and subsequent specialization in association with insect hosts, leading to high yeast diversity in a previously unexplored habitat.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wood ingestion by passalid beetles in the presence of xylose-fermenting gut yeasts.
TL;DR: In a survey of insect gut micro-organisms, the authors consistently isolated Pichia stipitis-like yeasts from the wood-ingesting beetles, Odontotaenius disjunctus and Verres sternbergianus over a wide area, including the eastern and midwestern USA and Panama.
Journal ArticleDOI
The evolution of food preferences in Coccinellidae
Jose Adriano Giorgi,Natalia J. Vandenberg,Joseph V. McHugh,Juanita A. Forrester,S. Adam Ślipiński,Kelly B. Miller,Lori R. Shapiro,Michael F. Whiting +7 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that polyphagy served as an evolutionary stepping stone for primarily predaceous groups to adopt new feeding habits and therefore requires revision of the Coccinellidae classification system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogeny and classification of Cucujoidea and the recognition of a new superfamily Coccinelloidea (Coleoptera: Cucujiformia)
James A. Robertson,James A. Robertson,Adam Ślipiński,Matthew J. Moulton,Floyd W. Shockley,Adriano José Giorgi,Nathan P. Lord,Duane D. McKenna,Wioletta Tomaszewska,Juanita A. Forrester,Kelly B. Miller,Michael F. Whiting,Joseph V. McHugh +12 more
TL;DR: A large‐scale phylogenetic study is presented for Cucujoidea (Coleoptera), a diverse superfamily of beetles that historically has been taxonomically difficult, and many formal changes to cucujiform beetle classification are proposed.
