NATURE COMMUNICATIONS, 14(1).
TL;DR:
An origin of mosquitoes in the early Triassic is supported, considerably older than previous estimates and that mosquito diversification and host-use patterns within major lineages appear to coincide in earth history both with major continental drift events and with the diversification of vertebrate classes.

Phylogenetic resolution of the fly superfamily Ephydroidea-Molecular systematics of the enigmatic and diverse relatives of Drosophilidae
PLOS ONE, 17(10).
MeSH headings : Acetic Acid; Animals; Drosophilidae / genetics; Phylogeny
TL;DR:
To resolve relationships among a diverse sample of Ephydroidea, including the highly modified flies in the families Braulidae and Mormotomyiidae, phylogenomic sampling reaffirm that sampling of both taxa and characters is critical in hyperdiverse clades and that these factors have a major influence on phylogenomic reconstruction of the history of the schizophoran fly radiation.

author keywords: Diptera; divergence times reconstruction; lower Brachycera; maximum likelihood
MeSH headings : Animals; Bees / classification; Bees / genetics; Bees / physiology; Biodiversity; Evolution, Molecular; Larva / genetics; Larva / physiology; Phylogeny; Sequence Analysis, DNA; Transcriptome
TL;DR:
The dating analyses indicate a Jurassic origin of the Bombyliidae, with the sand chamber evolving early in bee fly evolution, in the late Jurassic or mid‐Cretaceous, and it is hypothesized that the angiosperm radiation and the hothouse climate established during the late Cretaceous accelerated the diversification of bee flies.

A higher‐level phylogenetic hypothesis is proposed for the Calyptratae based on an extensive DNA sequence dataset for 11 noncalyptrate outgroups and 247 calyptrate species representing all commonly accepted families in the Oestroidea and Hippoboscoidea, as well as those of the muscoid grade.

TL;DR:
Megaloptera were found to be paraphyletic with respect to the rest of Neuroptera, calling into question the validity of the ordinal status for Megaloptera as presently defined, and the phylogenetic status and taxonomic composition of Polystoechotidae and Ithonidae are in need of re‐evaluation.

A revised phylogenetic classification is proposed for the crane flies based on a synthesis of evidence from multiple genes and morphology, not consistent with the existing subfamilial classification of the ‘Limoniidae’, which is paraphyletic with respect to a well‐supported Tipulinae + Cylindrotominae clade.

The results contradict several published hypotheses that associate Vermileonidae with asiloid or eremoneuran taxa remote from the Tabanomorpha, and corroborate several recent phylogenetic hypotheses based on comparative morphology.

Nuclear genes resolve Mesozoic-aged divergences in the insect order Lepidoptera
[Review of ]. MOLECULAR PHYLOGENETICS AND EVOLUTION, 15(2), 242–259.
MeSH headings : Animals; DNA, Ribosomal / genetics; Lepidoptera / classification; Lepidoptera / genetics; Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase (ATP) / genetics; Phylogeny; RNA, Ribosomal, 18S / genetics; Sequence Homology, Nucleic Acid; Species Specificity
TL;DR:
The 18S ribosomal RNA gene is tested for reconstructing Mesozoic-aged divergences within the insect order Lepidoptera and its ability when combined with a second, previously analyzed nuclear gene (phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, PEPCK) to strongly resolve these relationships is tested.

Phylogeny of the treehoppers (Insecta : Hemiptera : Membracidae): Evidence from two nuclear genes
MOLECULAR PHYLOGENETICS AND EVOLUTION, 17(2), 317–334.
author keywords: Membracoidea; Membracidae; treehoppers; molecular phylogenetics; elongation factor-1 alpha; 28S ribosomal DNA; combined data analysis; biogeography
MeSH headings : Animals; DNA / chemistry; DNA / genetics; Genetic Variation; Hemiptera / classification; Hemiptera / genetics; Molecular Sequence Data; Peptide Elongation Factor 1 / genetics; Phylogeny; RNA, Ribosomal, 28S / genetics; Sequence Analysis, DNA
TL;DR:
Preliminary phylogenetic results suggest that morphology-based classifications of the Membracidae need to be reevaluated in light of emerging molecular evidence.

1999 journal article
Genetic variation in Beauveria bassiana populations associated with the darkling beetle, Alphitobius diaperinus
JOURNAL OF INVERTEBRATE PATHOLOGY, 73(3), 269–275.
author keywords: Alphitobius diaperinus; Beauveria bassiana; darkling beetles; genetic variation; RAPD
MeSH headings : Animals; Botrytis / classification; Botrytis / genetics; Coleoptera / microbiology; Genetic Variation
TL;DR:
Assessment of genetic variation within and among populations of Beauveria bassiana associated with the darkling beetle, Alphitobius diaperinus, using RAPD markers found variation present within populations was evident not only in the separation of each strain as a distinct multiband phenotype but also in the separates of strains within a population into separate clusters.
