A tree of leaves: Phylogeny and historical biogeography of the leaf insects (Phasmatodea: Phylliidae)

Bank et al. investigate the phylogenetic relationships of all major lineages of leaf insects, identify 15 to 20 putatively new species, and show these insects likely originated in the Australasian/Pacific region with dispersal to the mainland. This phylogenetic work is the first to include all major...

Description
Résumé:Bank et al. investigate the phylogenetic relationships of all major lineages of leaf insects, identify 15 to 20 putatively new species, and show these insects likely originated in the Australasian/Pacific region with dispersal to the mainland. This phylogenetic work is the first to include all major groups of leaf insects and highlights cryptic diversity.
