The evolution of wasp mimicry and biogeography in the genus Temnostoma (Diptera: Syrphidae)

Jiří Hadrava, Jan Klečka, Kevin M. Moran, Irena Klečková, Scott Kelso, Claudia Etzbauer, Jeffrey H. Skevington, Ximo Mengual

This study reconstructs the evolutionary history of the hover fly genus Temnostoma, revealing that perfect wasp mimicry evolved twice independently and that mimicry traits show high evolutionary plasticity.

Standardized nuclear markers advance metazoan taxonomy

Lars Dietz, Jonas Eberle, Christoph Mayer, Sandra Kukowka, Claudia Bohacz, Hannes Baur, Marianne Espeland, Bernhard A. Huber, Carl R. Hutter, Ximo Mengual, Ralph S. Peters, Miguel Vences B, Thomas Wesener‍, Keith R. Willmott, Bernhard Y. Misof, , Dirk Claudio AHRENS

The paper shows that nuclear-encoded universal single-copy orthologs (USCOs) outperform mitochondrial DNA barcoding in species discrimination and taxonomic assignment across metazoans.
