Testing the sister-group relationship of the Rhodniini and Triatomini (Insecta: Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Triatominae) (original) (raw)

2005, Molecular phylogenetics and evolution

AI-generated Abstract

This study aims to investigate the phylogenetic relationship between the Triatomini and Rhodniini tribes within the Reduviidae family, using molecular data from 16S ribosomal DNA sequences. The analysis includes a cladistic approach applying maximum parsimony methods and incorporates various outgroups to establish sister-group relationships. The findings are expected to clarify the evolutionary connections and lineage diversification principles within the Triatominae subfamily, contributing to the broader understanding of hemipteran classification.
