An international team of more than 100 researchers from China, U.S., Germany, and several other countries published on Thursday the first modern roadmap of insect evolution. The unprecedented results, appearing in the U.S. journal Science, reconstructed the insect “tree of life” and answered longstanding questions about the origins and evolution of the world’s largest, most diverse animal group…”Phylogeny forms the foundation for telling us the who?, what?, when?, and why? of life,” co-author Karl Kjer, professor from Rutgers University, said in a statement.
