Description
Kjer and his colleagues have collected about 15 trillion nucleotides of data from which they have identified between 2300-3900 genes for phylogenetic analysis in each of several subprojects, collectively comprising 1400 species. The authors propose to co-edit a beautifully illustrated comprehensive book on insect phylogeny that summarizes findings from these and other comprehensive studies. Detailed and data driven phylogenies will trace the development of insect morphological innovations through time.
