A collaborative effort between more than 100 scientists, the insect phylogenetic tree is based on genetic information from 144 carefully chosen species. A collaborative effort between more than 100 ...

Prevailing methods of measuring diet breadth of phytophagous insects are not consistent between studies and generally rely on counts of a variety of higher plant taxa (e.g. genera, families, orders).

“The results of this work are immense and will be broadly adopted in general and systematic entomology books and textbooks,” Jakub Prokop, an entomologist at Charles University in Prague in the Czech ...

Creating a family tree that dates back more than 400 million years and details the evolution of the most diverse group of animals on the planet is no easy feat, but one ambitious group of scientists ...

1. Exotic tree species are widely used in forest plantations for their often high productivity and performance compared to native trees. However, these advantages may be compromised by herbivore ...

Angiosperms are the most successful plants and support human livelihood and ecosystems. Angiosperm phylogeny is the foundation of studies of gene function and phenotypic evolution, divergence time ...

A North Carolina State University study published online this week in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences shows that examining an insect's "family tree" might help predict a "cousin" ...

Tiny eggs have started hatching this week at the San Diego Zoo, and scientists there are celebrating the arrival of baby tree lobsters. It's all part of a conservation effort for the Lord Howe Island ...
