Tip-dated phylogeny of whirligig beetles reveals ancient lineage surviving on Madagascar.

Scientific reports - 22 Aug 2017

Abstract excerpt

The temporal origin of Madagascar's extraordinary endemic diversity is debated. A preference for Cenozoic dispersal origins has replaced the classical view of Mesozoic vicariance in the wake of molecular dating. However, evidence of ancient origins is mounting from arthropod groups. Using phylogenetic 'tip-dating' analysis with fossils, we show that a whirligig beetle species, Heterogyrus milloti, inhabiting...
