The development of nuclear protein coding genes as phylogenetic markers in bark and ambrosia beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
Pistone, Dario (Doctoral thesis, 2018-03-20)Bark and ambrosia beetles are grouped into two different subfamilies (Scolytinae and Platypodinae), within the superfamily Curculionoidea (more than 60,000 described species). These insects constitute a large part (circa ... -
Genomic mining of phylogenetically informative nuclear markers in bark and ambrosia beetles
Pistone, Dario; Mugu, Sigrid; Jordal, Bjarte Henry (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-09-26)Deep level insect relationships are generally difficult to resolve, especially within taxa of the most diverse and species rich holometabolous orders. In beetles, the major diversity occurs in the Phytophaga, including ... -
New molecular markers resolve the phylogenetic position of the enigmatic wood-boring weevils Platypodinae (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
Mugu, Sigrid; Pistone, Dario; Jordal, Bjarte Henry (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)The precise phylogenetic position of the weevil subfamily Platypodinae continues to be one of the more contentious issues in weevil systematics. Morphological features of adult beetles and similar ecological adaptations ...
