2. 1. Diversification on an ancient Darwinian island : Evolutionary history of caddisflies (Trichoptera) and other organisms on New Caledonia

   Author : Marianne Espeland; Kjell Arne Johanson; Niklas Wahlberg; Michael Balke; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : New Caledonia; Trichoptera; island; biogeography; phylogenetics; DNA; dispersal; vicariance; adaptation; ultramafic; diversification; new species; environmental factors; Systematic Zoology; zoologisk systematik och evolutionsforskning;

   Abstract : Islands are either of continental or oceanic origin, and the biota of such islands are a result of vicariance and dispersal, respectively. New Caledonia, in the South Pacific, is a part of former Gondwana, but the origin of its biota is heavily debated. READ MORE

4. 2. Molecular phylogenetics and taxonomic issues in dragonfly systematics (Insecta: Odonata)

   Author : Rasmus Hovmöller; Thomas Pape; Mari Källersjö; Kjell Arne Johanson; Karl Kjer; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Systematics and phylogenetics; Systematik och fylogeni;

   Abstract : Dragonflies (Odonata) are one of the ancestral groups of extant insects. They represent one of the three most basal branches in the phylogeny of winged insects. The other two groups are the Ephemeroptera, mayflies, and Neoptera, the latter which covers the remaining winged insects. READ MORE

5. 3. Climbing the Trichoptera Tree : Investigations of Branches and Leaves

   Author : Tobias Malm; Kjell Arne Johanson; Wolfram Mey; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Trichoptera; Leptoceridae; Symphitoneuria; Gracilipsodes; Triplectides; morphology; DNA; systematics; phylogeny; New Caledonia; Madagascar; new species; new genus; Systematics and phylogenetics; Systematik och fylogeni; Systematic Zoology; zoologisk systematik och evolutionsforskning;

   Abstract : The Trichoptera (caddisflies) is the largest of the primary aquatic insect orders, currently including more than 13,500 species. With more than 100 species new to science described annually, the known caddisfly diversity is rapidly increasing. In the first four papers of this Thesis, a total of 22 species new to science are described. READ MORE

6. 4. Taking a Bite out of Diversity - Taxonomy and systematics of biting midges

   Author : Jonas Strandberg; Kjell Arne Johanson; Urban Olsson; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ceratopogonidae; Dasyhelea; barcoding; COI; phylogeny Sweden; Forcipomyia; Bezzia; Palpomyia; Degen1; Systematic Zoology; zoologisk systematik och evolutionsforskning;

   Abstract : The biting midges (family Ceratopogonidae) is one of the most species rich amongst the biting flies (Diptera) and has been recorded from most parts of the world. The species are mostly known for their capability to act as vectors for several important diseases, which have helped in shaping the focus to one of its genera, Culicoides Latreille, 1809. READ MORE

7. 5. Molecules and morphology in Empidoidea (Diptera) : Phylogenetic analysis and taxonomical implications

   Author : Emma Wahlberg; Kjell Arne Johanson; Thomas Pape; Jeffrey Cumming; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Empidoidea; Empididae; Hybotidae; phylogeny; taxonomy; systematics; molecular data; morphology; revision; Systematic Zoology; zoologisk systematik och evolutionsforskning;

   Abstract : The classification and evolutionary history of the superfamily Empidoidea (Diptera) have been far from straightforward subjects. Morphology based phylogenies of the superfamily have been unable to answer many questions raised by both systematists and biogeographers, as well as ecologists and ethologists, partly due to morphological modifications and adaptations difficult to interpret.
