Species community composition is known to alter the network of interactions between two trophic levels, potentially affecting its functioning (e.g. plant pollination success) and the stability of comm
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.
It is thought that speciation in phytophagous insects is often due to colonization of novel host plants, because radiations of plant and insect lineages are typically asynchronous. Recent phylogenetic
Mesoraphidiidae is one of the major groups among the Mesozoic Raphidioptera, with 70 described species in 30 genera. However, many mesoraphidiid taxa need to be revised and the monophyly of this famil
