Insects are one of the most species-rich groups of metazoan organisms. They play a pivotal role in most non-marine ecosystems and many insect species are of enormous economical and medical importance.
A rapid drop of sea level at the Eocene-Oligocene transition (EOT; 34–33 Ma) triggered a marine mass extinction event and the turnover of terrestrial fauna, but its influence on the diversification
