Phylogenomic Data Resolves the Century-Old "Zoraptera Problem"
Recently, a research team led by Professor CAI Chenyang from Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (NIGPAS), collaborated with research institutions across the United Kingdom, the United States, the Czech Republic, Spain, Italy and other countries. Leveraging large-scale genome sequencing, construction of an ultra-large molecular matrix and multi-dimensional statistical validation, the team assembled a phylogenomic dataset with broad taxonomic coverage for insect evolution, precisely resolving the evolutionary position of Zoraptera on the insect Tree of Life. The findings were published online in the international journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
