Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hemiptera are one of the most morphologically diverse of all insect orders, with some groups showing extreme morphological modifications. However, although the systematics of the group have progressed considerably, there have been relatively few studies focused on the evolution of morphological characters in this group using robust phylogenetic methods.
For this upcoming Special Issue, we are seeking high-quality original submissions and reviews that address and update our understanding of the systematics, evolution, and diversity of Hemiptera, including reconstructing morphological character evolution on morphological or molecular phylogenies and examining the stability of characters traditionally used for classification.
