Phylogenomics of the superfamily Dytiscoidea (Coleoptera: Adephaga) with an evaluation of phylogenetic conflict and systematic error
Abstract
Largest molecular dataset ever compiled to resolve relationships within Dytiscoidea. The monophyly of the geographically disjunct Aspidytidae is hypothesized. A clade of Amphizoidae and Aspidytidae is supported by most phylogenetic analyses. Among-species compositional bias affects the inferred topologies within Dytiscoidea.
