Can Brain Structures Help to Resolve Interordinal Relationships in Insects?
While the monophyly of most insect orders is well supported by morphological data, relationships among orders are still largely undecided. Postulated interordinal relationships are often based on relatively few morphological characters or characters of questionable phylogenetic signifi cance. In studies based on molecular evidence interordinal relationships are usually not signifi cantly suppor...
متن کاملInsect Phylogenomics: Exploring the Source of Incongruence Using New Transcriptomic Data
The evolution of the diverse insect lineages is one of the most fascinating issues in evolutionary biology. Despite extensive research in this area, the resolution of insect phylogeny especially of interordinal relationships has turned out to be still a great challenge. One of the challenges for insect systematics is the radiation of the polyneopteran lineages with several contradictory and/or ...
متن کاملPhylogenetic analysis of Myriapoda using three nuclear protein-coding genes.
We assessed the ability of three nuclear protein-encoding genes-elongation factor-1alpha (EF-1alpha), RNA polymerase II (Pol II), and elongation factor-2 (EF-2)-from 59 myriapod and 12 non-myriapod species to resolve phylogenetic relationships among myriapod classes and orders. In a previous study using EF-1alpha and Pol II (2134 nt combined) from 34 myriapod taxa, Regier and Shultz recovered w...
متن کاملPhylogenomic Analysis Resolves the Interordinal Relationships and Rapid Diversification of the Laurasiatherian Mammals
Although great progress has been made in resolving the relationships of placental mammals, the position of several clades in Laurasiatheria remain controversial. In this study, we performed a phylogenetic analysis of 97 orthologs (46,152 bp) for 15 taxa, representing all laurasiatherian orders. Additionally, phylogenetic trees of laurasiatherian mammals with draft genome sequences were reconstr...
متن کاملRelationships and Divergence times among the Orders and Families of Marsupialia
-The approximately 330 living species of marsupials are currently divided into three American (Didelphimorphia, Microbiotheria, and Paucituberculata) and four Australasian (Dasyuromorphia, Diprotodontia, Notoryctemorphia, and Peramelemorphia) orders. Studies of interordinal relationships generally support the monophyly of Australidelphia, which includes the four Australian orders and the South ...
