Abstract excerpt
Continental shelf islands in Southeast Asia remain poorly studied with respect to insect diversity and evolutionary history. Here, we provide an integrative assessment of species diversity, DNA barcode variation, diversification dynamics, and historical biogeography of leaf beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) on Cat Ba Island, northern Vietnam. Based on field surveys, 36 morphospecies operational taxonomic units...
