Evolution: Taking the Sting out of Wasp Phylogenetics

Hymenopterans — one of the ‘big four' of insect orders — includes the sawflies, wasps, ants and bees. Two phylogenomic studies now resolve hymenopteran phylogeny and provide scenarios for the evolution of major lineages and key lifestyle transitions. Hymenopterans — one of the ‘big four' o...
