#Lepidoptera are vital to terrestrial #ecosystems, yet we know so little about higher-level #phylogenetic relationships among the superfamilies.
Chen et al. aim to change that with a robust new framework for future study.

Phylogenetic tree of lepidopteran superfamilies, based on increased taxon sampling, reveals some new sister relationships with strong supports (Papilionoidea is sister to Gelechioidea, Immoidea is sister to Galacticoidea, and Pyraloidea is sister to Hyblaeoidea, respectively).

A worldwide phylogenetic classification of the Poaceae. The indigenous range of each species is presented in different colors.

The #phylogeny and #biogeographic history of the Ulmaceae have long been poorly understood.
In this study, Zhang et al. reconstruct #phylogenetic relationships within the family and infer spatio-temporal #diversification patterns. https://jse.ac.cn/EN/10.1111/jse.12720

Reconstruction of phylogenetic relationships and inferred spatio-temporal diversification patterns based on chloroplast genome (complete cpDNA) and nuclear ribosomal DNA sequences (nrDNA) within the Ulmaceae family.

That would have been enough for a #phylogenetic #ResearchPaper. But one problem with classic German coauthors is that we don't scratch surfaces.

A new animal was found. A British researcher writes a half-page abstract a month later: The elephant, a new animal from Africa.
One year later, a French writes a 5 pp. long paper, content: The elephant, a new animal from Africa.
Five years later a 500 pp. German book is published: The Elephant. Part 1: Its trunk.

To address 3 key questions regarding #torpor #evolution, we compiled a #dataset of a) torpor capabilities and b) 21 ecophysiological variables for 1,338 species of #mammals and #birds.

We then analysed this dataset using a series of #phylogenetic comparative methods.
