Article Synopsis
  • Recent advancements in DNA sequencing have improved our understanding of insect phylogeny, but the relationships within the order Neuroptera remain poorly defined.
  • A new transcriptomic dataset was assembled to clarify these relationships and estimate divergence times, using various phylogenetic techniques for robustness.
  • The study’s findings suggest specific familial relationships within Neuropterida, with most families diversifying during the Jurassic period and predominantly terrestrial larvae as a key ancestral trait.

Local endemic species with their unique evolutionary history always stirred the interest of scientists. One such area especially rich in endemics is northern Italy. In case of pill millipedes of the genus Glomeris Latreille, 1803, only a single species is found in northern Europe, while 22 country-endemics alone are known from Italy.
