entomology, systematics, taxonomy, Diptera, Coleoptera
I am an entomologist interested in arthropod systematics, evolution, taxonomy, and other biodiversity studies. My main interests have been flies (Diptera) and beetles (Coleoptera), but I have broad interests in all arthropods. I am the entomologist/diagnostician at the NC State Plant Disease and Insect Clinic where I identify arthropods for others, including clients experiencing pest issues, general interest questions, and organisms for research studies (among other services). I am also an arthropod macro photographer.

Ecology and management of the crapemyrtle aphid (Hemiptera: Aphididae) on crapemyrtle (Myrtales: Lythraceae) in the southern United States
JOURNAL OF INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT, 15(1).
Ed(s): D. Coyle
author keywords: crapemyrtle aphid; crapemyrtle; natural enemy; urban tree
TL;DR:
The wide distribution of CMA, closely overlapping that of crapemyrtle, suggests that CMA can likely be found wherever crapemyrtles are commonly planted, and CMAs may help conserve natural enemy communities in urban areas.

On Dorsal Prothoracic Appendages in Treehoppers (Hemiptera: Membracidae) and the Nature of Morphological Evidence
PLOS ONE, 7(1).
MeSH headings : Animals; Biological Evolution; Extremities / anatomy & histology; Hemiptera / anatomy & histology; Hemiptera / classification; Microscopy, Confocal; Species Specificity; Thorax / anatomy & histology; Wings, Animal / anatomy & histology; X-Ray Microtomography
TL;DR:
It is concluded that there is no dorsal, articulated appendage on the membracid T1, and the presence of this structure in Membracidae is not an evolutionary novelty for this clade.

Phylogenetic synthesis of morphological and molecular data reveals new insights into the higher-level classification of Tipuloidea (Diptera)
SYSTEMATIC ENTOMOLOGY, 35(3), 526–545.
TL;DR:
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.

Phylogenetic analysis and temporal diversification of mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) based on nuclear genes and morphology
BMC EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY, 9(1).
MeSH headings : Animals; Cell Nucleus / genetics; Culicidae / anatomy & histology; Culicidae / classification; Culicidae / genetics; Evolution, Molecular; Phylogeny
TL;DR:
The results support the notion of rapid radiations early in the diversification of mosquitoes, and suggest the need for additional taxonomic sampling.

Single-copy nuclear genes resolve the phylogeny of the holometabolous insects

MeSH headings : Animals; Base Sequence; Bayes Theorem; Evolution, Molecular; Genes, Insect; Hymenoptera / genetics; Insecta / classification; Insecta / genetics; Insecta / growth & development; Likelihood Functions; Metamorphosis, Biological / genetics; Phylogeny
TL;DR:
Evidence from nucleotide sequences of six single-copy nuclear protein coding genes used to reconstruct phylogenetic relationships and estimate evolutionary divergence times is presented, finding strong support for a close relationship between Coleoptera (beetles) and Strepsiptera, a previously proposed, but analytically controversial relationship.

TL;DR:
Relationships among families of the lower Diptera (formerly suborder ‘Nematocera’) are resolved using sequence data from four nuclear markers, including both ribosomal (28S rDNA) and protein‐coding (CAD, TPI and PGD) genes, and the results support both novel and traditional arrangements.
