Article Synopsis
- Over 95% of plant-eating true bugs belong to four main superfamilies, which include important agricultural pests, but their evolutionary relationships have been unclear.
- This study analyzed 150 species using various genetic techniques to clarify the phylogenetic relationships and estimated divergence times within these true bug lineages.
- Results show that the major groups are closely related and began to diversify significantly during the Early Cretaceous, coinciding with the rise of flowering plants, particularly in the Late Cretaceous.
