Can Deliberately Incomplete Gene Sample Augmentation Improve a Phylogeny Estimate for the Advanced Moths and Butterflies (Hexapoda: Lepidoptera)?

Cho, Soowon; Zwick, Andreas; Regier, Jerome C.; Mitter, Charles; Cummings, Michael P.; Yao, Jianxiu; Du, Zaile; Zhao, Hong; Kawahara, Akito Y.; Weller, Susan; Davis, Donald R.; Baixeras, Joaquin; Brown, John W.; Parr, Cynthia Sims (2011)

This paper addresses the question of whether one can economically improve the robustness of a molecular phylogeny estimate by increasing gene sampling in only a subset of taxa, without having the analysis invalidated by ...
Increased gene sampling strengthens support for higher-level groups within leaf-mining moths and relatives (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae)

Kawahara, Akito Y.; Ohshima, Issei; Kawakita, Atsushi; Regier, Jerome C.; Mitter, Charles; Cummings, Michael P.; Davis, Donald R.; Wagner, David L.; De Prins, Jurate; Lopez-Vaamonde, Carlos (2011)

Background: Researchers conducting molecular phylogenetic studies are frequently faced with the decision of what to do when weak branch support is obtained for key nodes of importance. As one solution, the researcher may ...
A Large-Scale, Higher-Level, Molecular Phylogenetic Study of the Insect Order Lepidoptera (Moths and Butterflies)

Regier, Jerome C.; Mitter, Charles; Zwick, Andreas; Bazinet, Adam L.; Cummings, Michael P.; Kawahara, Akito Y.; Sohn, Jae-Cheon; Zwickl, Derrick J.; Cho, Soowon; Davis, Donald R.; Baixeras, Joaquin; Brown, John W.; Parr, Cynthia Sims; Weller, Susan; Lees, David; Mitter, Kim T. (2013)
A molecular phylogeny and revised classification for the oldest ditrysian moth lineages (Lepidoptera: Tineoidea), with implications for ancestral feeding habits of the mega-diverse Ditrysia

Regier, Jerome C.; Mitter, Charles; Davis, Donald R.; Harrison, Terry L.; Sohn, Jae-Cheon; Cummings, Michael P.; Zwick, Andreas; Mitter, Kim T. (2015)

The Tineoidea are the earliest-originating extant superfamily of the enormous clade Ditrysia, whose 152?000+ species make up 98% of the insect order Lepidoptera. Though more diverse than all non-ditrysian superfamilies put ...
A molecular phylogeny and revised higher-level classification for the leaf-mining moth family Gracillariidae and its implications for larval host-use evolution

Kawahara, Akito Y.; Plotkin, David; Ohshima, Issei; Lopez-Vaamonde, Carlos; Houlihan, Peter R.; Breinholt, Jesse W.; Kawakita, Atsushi; Xiao, Lei; Regier, Jerome C.; Davis, Donald R.; Kumata, Tosio; Sohn, Jae-Cheon; De Prins, Jurate; Mitter, Charles (2017)

Gracillariidae are one of the most diverse families of internally feeding insects, and many species are economically important. Study of this family has been hampered by lack of a robust and comprehensive phylogeny. In the ...
A Molecular Phylogeny for Yponomeutoidea (Insecta, Lepidoptera, Ditrysia) and Its Implications for Classification, Biogeography and the Evolution of Host Plant Use

Sohn, Jae-Cheon; Regier, Jerome C.; Mitter, Charles; Davis, Donald R.; Landry, Jean-Francois; Zwick, Andreas; Cummings, Michael P. (2013)
Toward reconstructing the evolution of advanced moths and butterflies (Lepidoptera: Ditrysia): an initial molecular study

Regier, Jerome C.; Zwick, Andreas; Cummings, Michael; Kawahara, Akito; Cho, Soowon; Weller, Susan; Roe, Amanda; Baixeras, Joaquin; Brown, John; Parr, Cynthia Sims; Davis, Donald R.; Epstein, Marc; Hallwachs, Winnie D.; Hausmann, Axel; Janzen, Daniel H.; Kitching, Ian; Solis, M. Alma; Yen, Shen-Horn; Bazinet, Adam; Mitter, Charles (2009)

BACKGROUND: In the mega-diverse insect order Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths; 165,000 described species), deeper relationships are little understood within the clade Ditrysia, to which 98% of the species belong. To begin ...
