Abstract The Issidae are highly diverse in terms of morphology and species richness. Despite recent efforts, the internal phylogeny classification this planthopper family remain controversial. Here, we present a inferred with Bayesian Maximum Likelihood analyses nine‐gene molecular dataset (4702 bp) morphological data (35 characters) across broad sample taxa (99 terminals). Based on these results, verify taxonomic status issid subfamilies, tribes generic complexes. Results revealed...

Abstract The classification of the hyperdiverse true bug family M iridae is far from settled, and particularly contentious for cosmopolitan subfamily B ryocorinae. morphological diversity within pronounced, a lack explicit character formulation hampers stability in classification. Molecular partitions are few only handful taxa have been sequenced. In this study phylogeny ryocorinae has analysed based on data alone, with an emphasis evaluating tribe D icyphina sensu S chuh, 1976, which...

Abstract Representatives of the subfamily Cylapinae (Insecta: Heteroptera: Miridae) mostly inhabit subtropics and tropics. The group currently comprises five tribes: Bothriomirini, Cylapini, Fulviini, Rhinomirini, Vanniini. Additionally, Psallopinae are sometimes included in this as a tribe. interrelationships within unknown, monophyly is doubtful, phylogenetic study focusing on entire has never been published. molecular fossil data analyses show that Miridae occurred at least Jurassic....

Species delimitation presents a significant challenge in biology, particularly systematics. Here, an integrative approach is employed to assess the species boundaries of widely distributed Palearctic Stenodema species. Due their diversity, wide distribution, and absence comprehensive morphological molecular data for most species, revising both daunting time-consuming. Our study focuses on detailed examinations male female genitalia, coupled with phylogenetic analyses based two mitochondrial...

Termite mounds built by representatives of the family Termitidae are among most spectacular constructions in animal kingdom, reaching 6–8 m height and housing millions individuals. Although functional aspects these structures well studied, their evolutionary origins remain poorly understood. Australian termitid subfamily Nasutitermitinae display a wide variety nesting habits, making them an ideal group for investigating evolution mound building. Because they feed on substrates, also provide...

The higher classification of the mirid subfamily Bryocorinae has received comparatively little attention. It is not highly species-rich in comparison with other subfamilies but does exhibit extraordinary morphological heterogeneity. In this work we provide a synthesis on global basis, providing new key and updated diagnoses supraspecific taxa. Five tribes are recognised: Bryocorini, Dicyphini, Eccritotarsini, Felisacini Monaloniini. genus Campyloneura Fieber transferred from tribe Dicyphini...

Insects are poikilothermic organisms and temperature increase usually accelerates their development rates, population distribution area growth. Therefore, it is assumed that global warming can be beneficial for the pests other widespread species at least in relatively cool temperate zones. However, climate change's effect on Palearctic remains poorly studied. This work was performed three plant bug (Insecta: Heteroptera: Miridae), present inhabiting Europe Asia.
