The beetle tree of life reveals that <scp>C</scp> oleoptera survived end‐ <scp>P</scp> ermian mass extinction to diversify during the <scp>C</scp> retaceous terrestrial revolution

Duane D. McKenna, Alexander L. Wild, Kojun Kanda et al. · 6 Jul 2015

Abstract Here we present a phylogeny of beetles ( I nsecta: C oleoptera) based on DNA sequence data from eight nuclear genes, including six single‐copy nuclear protein‐coding genes, for 367 species representing 172 of 183 extant families. Our results refine existing knowledge of relationships among major groups of beetles. Strepsiptera was confirmed as sister to…

The evolution of myrmicine ants: phylogeny and biogeography of a hyperdiverse ant clade ( <scp>H</scp> ymenoptera: <scp>F</scp> ormicidae)

Philip S. Ward, Seán G. Brady, Brian L. Fisher et al. · 23 Jul 2014

Abstract This study investigates the evolutionary history of a hyperdiverse clade, the ant subfamily M yrmicinae ( H ymenoptera: F ormicidae), based on analyses of a data matrix comprising 251 species and 11 nuclear gene fragments. Under both maximum likelihood and B ayesian methods of inference, we recover a robust phylogeny that reveals six major…

Integrative taxonomy, or iterative taxonomy?

David K. Yeates, Ainsley E. Seago, Leigh A. Nelson et al. · 22 Nov 2010

The recently introduced term ‘integrative taxonomy’ refers to taxonomy that integrates all available data sources to frame species limits. We survey current taxonomic methods available to delimit species that integrate a variety of data, including molecular and morphological characters. A literature review of empirical studies using the term ‘integrative taxonomy’ assessed the kinds of data…

Molecular phylogenetics of Erebidae (Lepidoptera, Noctuoidea)

Reza Zahiri, Jeremy D. Holloway, Ian J. Kitching et al. · 31 Oct 2011

As a step towards understanding the higher‐level phylogeny and evolutionary affinities of quadrifid noctuoid moths, we have undertaken the first large‐scale molecular phylogenetic analysis of the moth family Erebidae, including almost all subfamilies, as well as most tribes and subtribes. DNA sequence data for one mitochondrial gene ( COI ) and seven nuclear genes (…

Phylogenetic relevance of the genital sclerites of Neuropterida (Insecta: Holometabola)

Ulrike Aspöck, Horst Aspöck · 1 Jan 2008

Abstract Segment 9 of male Raphidioptera, comprising tergite, sternite, gonocoxites, gonostyli and gonapophyses, is a benchmark for homologies in the male and female terminalia of the three Neuropterida orders Raphidioptera, Megaloptera and Neuroptera. The segments relating to genitalia are 9, 10 and 11 in males and 7, 8 and 9 in females. Results from holomorphological…

Systematic Entomology template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Systematic Entomology format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Systematic Entomology template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Wiley format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Systematic Entomology use?
Systematic Entomology uses Author–year (Chicago) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, Ada, Ben Jones, and Cara Lee. 2023. "A Representative Article Title." Systematic Entomology 12 (3): 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Systematic Entomology?
No. DocuGuru generates the USG LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Wiley-ready Systematic Entomology document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Systematic Entomology template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Systematic Entomology format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Systematic Entomology?
Systematic Entomology is a multidisciplinary journal published by Wiley. DocuGuru's Systematic Entomology template matches Wiley's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Systematic Entomology PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Systematic Entomology template (the USG class) that is ready to submit to Wiley, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Systematic Entomology template cost?
You can start writing in the Systematic Entomology template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Systematic Entomology PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
