Evolutionary history and divergence times of Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies) revealed through transcriptomics

Summary: Dragonflies and damselflies are among the earliest flying insects with extant representatives. However, unraveling details of their long evolutionary history, such as egg laying (oviposition) strategies, is impeded by unresolved phylogenetic relationships, particularly in damselflies. Here...
