The beetle tree of life reveals that Coleoptera survived end‐Permian mass extinction to diversify during the Cretaceous terrestrial revolution
TLDR
A phylogeny of beetles based on DNA sequence data from eight nuclear genes, including six single‐copy nuclear protein‐coding genes, for 367 species representing 172 of 183 extant families provides a uniquely well‐resolved temporal and phylogenetic framework for studying patterns of innovation and diversification in Coleoptera.

Morphology and systematics (Archostemata, Adephaga, Myxophaga, Polyphaga Partim)
TLDR
This first Coleoptera volume covers the suborders Archostemata, Myxophaga and Adephaga, and the basal series of Polyphaga, with information on world distribution, biology, morphology of all life stages, phylogeny and comments on taxonomy. Expand
Platypodidae under scrutiny
TLDR
Results of a cladistic analysis show that the current placement of Platypodidae makes the subfamily Scolytinae paraphyletic, and ScolyTinae thereby becoming a monophyletic taxon. Expand
Classification of basal Cucujoidea (Coleoptera : Polyphaga): cladistic analysis, keys and review of new families
Phylogenetic relationships among the basal Cucujoidea were reconstructed by a cladistic analysis of a data matrix consisting of 37 exemplar taxa and 99 adult and larval characters. Eight most… Expand
Determining the origin and age of the Westland beech (Nothofagus) gap, New Zealand, using fungus beetle genetics
TLDR
Based on coalescence dating methods, disjunct lineages of B. scutellaris indicate that the Nothofagus beech gap in New Zealand was formed less than 200 000 years ago, favouring a glacial explanation for the origin of the gap. Expand
Morphology and systematics (Elateroidea, Bostrichiformia, Cucujiformia partim)
TLDR
This second Coleoptera volume covers the remaining polyphagan taxa and recently described groups not included in the first volume, with information on world distribution, biology, morphology of all life stages, phylogeny and comments on taxonomy. Expand
Phylogenetic analysis of Staphyliniformia (Coleoptera) based on characters of larvae and adults
TLDR
It is recommended that series names are eliminated from the classification of Polyphaga, at least for the more ‘primitive’ groups, and poor resolution at the base of the trees and the placement of some nonstaphyliniform taxa as a sister group to a clade comprising Scarabaeoidea, Hydrophiloidea and HisteroideA suggests that Staphyl iniformia may be paraphyletic. Expand
Phylogeography and ecological niche modelling implicate coastal refugia and trans‐alpine dispersal of a New Zealand fungus beetle
TLDR
Phylogeography of this species indicates that recolonization of the largely deforested east and southeast South Island occurred in a west–east direction, with populations moving through the Southern Alps, and that the northern refugia participated little in interglacial population expansion, which contradicts published studies of other New Zealand species. Expand
Nitidulidae (Coleoptera) of the Himalayas and Northern Indochina, Part 1: Subfamily Epuraeinae, Theses Zoologicae, Volume 28
Comparative phylogenetic analysis reveals long-term isolation of lineages on the Three Kings Islands, New Zealand
TLDR
Results are consistent with continual emergent land on the Three Kings Ridge since at least the Miocene and a lack of land connections between the ThreeKings Islands and mainland New Zealand during Pleistocene sea-level lowering. Expand
