Abstract. Dermaptera (earwigs) is a cosmopolitan order of insects, the phylogenetic relationships of which are poorly understood. The phylogeny of Dermaptera was inferred from large subunit ribosomal (28S), small subunit ribosomal (18S), histone‐3 (H3) nuclear DNA sequences, and forty‐three morphological characters. Sequence data were collected for thirty‐two earwig exemplar taxa representing eight families in two suborders: Hemimeridae (suborder Hemimerina); Pygidicranidae, Anisolabididae…

The phylogenetic system of Mantodea (Insecta: Dictyoptera)
- Biology
- 2013
It is shown that many morphological characters, e.g. the head processes, enlarged lateral lobes of the pronotum, lobes on the legs and on the abdomen, evolved convergently several times during the evolution of the praying mantises (Mantodea).
Genital morphology and mating behaviour of Allostethus (Dermaptera), an earwig genus of enigmatic phylogenetic position
- Biology
- 2014
The aim of the present study was to describe the genital structures and copulation of Allostethus indicum in detail, and found that hindwing structures of this species showed multiple plesiomorphic characteristics, making Labiduridae (sensu lato) a polyphyletic assemblage.
Morphological and Molecular Analysis of Australian Earwigs (Dermaptera) Points to Unique Species and Regional Endemism in the Anisolabididae Family
- BiologyInsects
- 2019
Molecular phylogenies did not support monophyly of putative genera nor clades based on paramere shape, instead pointing to regional clades distinguishable by forceps morphology, which points to a unique regional insect fauna potentially important in pest control.
Insect phylogenomics: new insights on the relationships of lower neopteran orders (Polyneoptera)
- Biology
- 2013
These relationships based on a new transcriptome data matrix covering almost all polyneopteran orders, except for Mantophasmatodea, Grylloblattodea and Mantodea support a monophyletic Polyneoptera, corroborating previous findings and rejecting the paraphyletic lower neopteran group suggested by various morphological characters and rRNA gene analyses.
When the Body Hides the Ancestry: Phylogeny of Morphologically Modified Epizoic Earwigs Based on Molecular Evidence
- BiologyPloS one
- 2013
The results demonstrate the potential for rapid and substantial macroevolutionary changes at the morphological level as related to adaptive evolution, in this case linked to the utilization of a novel trophic niche based on an epizoic life strategy and indicate that the evolutionary consequences of the transition to an ectoparazitic mode of living have biased previous morphology-based hypotheses regarding the phylogeny of this insect group.

Towards a new paradigm in mayfly phylogeny (Ephemeroptera): combined analysis of morphological and molecular data
- Biology
- 2009
This study represents the first formal morphological and combined (morphological and molecular) phylogenetic analyses of the order Ephemeroptera and some recognized families and major lineages were not supported as monophyletic, mainly due to convergences within nymphal characters.
Molecular Phylogeny and Infraordinal Classification of Zoraptera (Insecta)
- BiologyInsects
- 2020
A multigene molecular phylogeny of extant Zoraptera was conducted and critically re-evaluated their morphological characters in order to propose a natural infraordinal classification, which recovered a highly-resolved phylogeny with two main clades representing major evolutionary lineages in Zorapters.

Dermaptera hindwing structure and folding: New evidence for familial, ordinal and superordinal relationships within Neoptera (Insecta)

The evolution of the dermapteran wing-folding mechanism is discussed and the hindwing is presented as a working "origami" model, which will fold as in living earwigs, and the functional role of the wing base in wing folding is examined.

In combined analyses, the root of the Dermaptera lies between Anisolabididae and other families, and the division of Forficulina into Catadermaptera and Eudermapters is not supported as the former is paraphyletic in the present analyses.

A first molecular phylogeny based on the mitochondrial 16S rRNA partial sequence supports the monophyly of Dermaptera and reveals that the reduction to semelparity is not due to a unique evolutionary event, but occurred at least three times in the Forficulidae family in connection with a colonization of subalpine regions.

The dendrograms suggest that the Blattaria and Mantodea show a relationship closer than the present subordinal rank permits and the Grylloblattodea and Dermaptera form a remote complex from the other orthopteroids and each qualifies as a separate order.

The data suggest that significant incongruence among data partitions may be isolated to specific relationships and the "false" signal creating this incongrience is most likely to be overcome by a simultaneous analysis.
