Chewing Through Challenges: Exploring the Evolutionary Pathways to Wood-Feeding in Insects

C. F. Beza-Beza, B. M. Wiegmann, J. A. Ware, M. Petersen, N. Gunter, M. E. Cole, M. Schwarz, M. A. Bertone, D. Young, A. Mikaelyan

This paper investigates the evolutionary origins of saproxylophagy in insects, proposing the Detritivore-First Hypothesis and emphasizing the role of gut microbiomes in wood digestion.

Are fleas highly modified Mecoptera? Phylogenomic resolution of Antliophora (Insecta: Holometabola)

K. Meusemann, M. Trautwein, F. Friedrich, R. Beutel, B. M. Wiegmann, A. Donath, L. Podsiadlowski, M. Petersen, O. Niehuis, C. Mayer, K. Bayless, S. Shin, S. Liu, O. Hlinka, B. Q. Minh, , D. Yeates

This study uses transcriptomic data to resolve the phylogenetic relationships within Antliophora, finding fleas are sister to either a monophyletic Mecoptera or arose within mecopteran families, potentially making Mecoptera paraphyletic.
