Evolution across the adaptive landscape in a hyperdiverse beetle radiation

The extraordinary diversification of beetles on Earth is a textbook example of adaptive evolution. Yet the tempo and drivers of this super-radiation remain largely unclear. Here, we address this problem by investigating the macroevolutionary dynamics in darkling beetles (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), one of the most ecomorphologically diverse beetle families (with >30k species). Using genomic datasets and multiple approaches, we resolve the long-standing inconsistency over deep relationships in the family. In conjunction with a landmark-based dataset of body shape morphology, we show that the evolutionary history of darkling beetles is marked by ancient rapid radiations, frequent ecological transitions, and rapid bursts of morphological diversification. On a global scale, our analyses uncovered a significant pulse of phenotypic diversification proximal to the K/Pg mass extinction and remarkable convergence of body shape associated with ecological specialization.
