Interspecific gene flow obscures phylogenetic relationships in an important insect pest species complex

Michael San Jose et al.

Summary: With the increasing availability of genomic data, the definition of species boundaries and relationships is becoming more ambiguous, possibly due to the neglect of gene flow. This study compared the results of phylogenetic and coalescent approaches, and found incongruence between species relationships. The importance of testing for gene flow, even when using high statistical support methods, was highlighted.

Delimiting the cryptic diversity and host preferences of Sycophila parasitoid wasps associated with oak galls using phylogenomic data

Yuanmeng M. Zhang et al.

Summary: Cryptic species diversity is a major challenge in parasitoids attacking oak gall wasps due to sexual dimorphism, morphological plasticity, small size, and poorly known biology. The study reveals that parasitoid wasps have adaptations allowing them to exploit specific host trait combinations and prefer larger galls. These findings have implications for evolutionary ecology and biocontrol, supporting the tritrophic niche concept in plant-herbivore-parasitoid communities.

A comprehensive phylogeny helps clarify the evolutionary history of host breadth and lure response in the Australian Dacini fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae)

M. L. Starkie et al.

Summary: This study reconstructed the phylogenetic relationships of Dacini tribe by analyzing species from Australia, the Pacific, and Southeast Asia. The results showed that the Australian fauna has high levels of endemism and the divergence time of the tribe is younger than previously reported. The evolution of male lure response exhibited a strong signal, while the signal for host breadth evolution was weaker.

Phylogenomic Delimitation of Morphologically Cryptic Species in Globetrotting Nylanderia (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) Species Complexes

Jason L. Williams et al.

Summary: The ant genus Nylanderia Emery is widely distributed and includes numerous described and potentially undescribed species. Global taxonomic revision of this genus has been challenging due to morphological variation, limited diagnostic characters, and reliance on infrequently collected male specimens. This study used target enrichment of ultraconserved elements and molecular delimitation methods to clarify phylogenetic positions and species boundaries within three species complexes of Nylanderia. The results emphasize the importance of integrative taxonomy for invasive species management.

Whole-genome analysis of giraffe supports four distinct species

Raphael T. F. Coimbra et al.

Summary: The taxonomy of giraffes has been disputed, with early classifications recognizing only one species with nine subspecies, but recent genomic studies suggesting at least four species. Population structure and phylogenomic analyses revealed four independently evolving giraffe lineages, supporting the recognition of four species and seven subspecies, emphasizing the importance of achieving consensus for assessing threat levels and improving conservation efforts.

Use of ITS-1 to identify Bactrocera dorsalis and Bactrocera occipitalis (Diptera: Tephritidae): a case study using flies trapped in California from 2008 to 2018

Norman B. Barr et al.

Summary: Molecular methods, specifically DNA sequencing of the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS-1), are essential for diagnosing immature life stages and corroborating identifications of the agricultural pest fruit fly Bactrocera dorsalis. The study documents additional intraspecific variation of ITS-1 in B. dorsalis, with a total of 15 unique sequences now known, aiding in future applications for species identification.
