Deng, J., Weng, X.-H., Ma, W.-T., Zhang, L., Wang, C., Zhou, Q.-S., Zhang, J.-T., Wang, X., & Huang, X.-L. 2025 Genomic insights into the phylogeny and evolutionary history of scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccoidea): Resolving family-level relationships. Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 108383: 1-36
Keywords:
Notes: 1. Established a robust phylogenetic framework for scale insects, clarifying relationships within ancient and modern lineages. 2. Identified Matsucoccidae as the most primitive extant group of scale insects and Putoidae as a transitional lineage between archaeococcoids and neococcoids. 3. Demonstrated that Xenococcidae belongs to neococcoids, distinct from Pseudococcidae. 4. Estimated divergence times of Coccoidea families, providing a comprehensive evolutionary framework. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ympev.2025.108383
