Sexually dimorphic characters and shared aposematic patterns mislead the morphology-based classification of the Lycini (Coleoptera: Lycidae)

Dominik Kusy et al.

Summary: A study on the Lycidae family conducted phylogenetic analysis, rejecting the polyphyletic assemblages of Lycus and Lycostomus, and redefined the classification of certain genera. Aposematic patterns evolved in different lineages, and high intraspecific polymorphism is influenced by local mimetic assemblages.

Phylogenomic relationships of bioluminescent elateroids define the 'lampyroid' clade with clicking Sinopyrophoridae as its earliest member

Dominik Kusy et al.

Summary: The study suggests that bioluminescence in Elateridae, Lampyridae, Phengodidae, and Rhagophthalmidae has a single origin, forming the 'lampyroid clade'. Soft-bodied bioluminescent elateroid beetles likely evolved from fully sclerotized elateroids, with bioluminescence possibly arising in Elateridae in the mid-Cretaceous period in eastern Laurasia. This research provides a phylogenetic framework for studying genomic variation in the evolution of bioluminescence.
