On the value of Elongation factor-1alpha for reconstructing pterygote insect phylogeny.

Molecular phylogenetics and evolution - 1 Feb 2010

Simon Sabrina, Schierwater Bernd, Hadrys Heike

Abstract excerpt

Pterygota are traditionally divided in two lineages, the "Palaeoptera" and Neoptera. Despite several efforts neither morphology nor molecular systematics have resolved the phylogeny of the pterygote insects. Too few markers have yet been identified for adequately tracking mesozoic-aged divergences. We tested the Elongation factor-1alpha for its phylogenetic value in pterygote insect systematics. This highly...
