Resolving tricky nodes in the tree of life through amino acid recoding

M. Giacomelli, M. E. Rossi, J. Lozano-Fernandez, R. Feuda, D. Pisani

This study uses amino acid recoding to improve phylogenetic accuracy at tricky nodes, showing that ctenophores are likely not the first branching animal lineage.

Compositional phylogenomic modelling resolves the 'Zoraptera problem': Zoraptera are sister to all other polyneopteran insects

E. Tihelka, M. S. Engel, J. Lozano-Fernandez, M. Giacomelli, Z. Yin, O. Rota-Stabelli, D. Huang, D. Pisani, P. Donoghue, C. Cai

This study resolves the Zoraptera placement in insect phylogeny, finding Zoraptera as the earliest-diverging polyneopteran order and providing a Devonian origin for winged insects.

Integrated phylogenomics and fossil data illuminate the evolution of beetles

C. Cai, E. Tihelka, M. Giacomelli, J. F. Lawrence, A. Slipinski, R. Kundrata, S. Yamamoto, M. K. Thayer, A. F. Newton, R. A. B. Leschen, M. L. Gimmel, L. Lu, M. S. Engel, D. Huang, D. Pisani, P. C. J. Donoghue

This paper integrates phylogenomic data and fossil records to refine the evolutionary timescale and classification of beetles, revealing a late Carboniferous origin and Cretaceous diversification.
