Charles Darwin, beetles and phylogenetics.

Die Naturwissenschaften - 1 Nov 2009

Beutel Rolf G, Friedrich Frank, Leschen Richard A B

Abstract excerpt

Here, we review Charles Darwin's relation to beetles and developments in coleopteran systematics in the last two centuries. Darwin was an enthusiastic beetle collector. He used beetles to illustrate different evolutionary phenomena in his major works, and astonishingly, an entire sub-chapter is dedicated to beetles in "The Descent of Man". During his voyage on the Beagle, Darwin was impressed by the high...
