Vogler's team reports in the 21 December issue of Science that the earliest branches in the Polyphaga, the biggest group of beetles, including all major plant-feeding groups, extend back to the Paleozoic era (270 million years ago).

Even with whole genomes, some of the earliest branches in Neoaves proved challenging to resolve, which was best explained by massive protein-coding sequence convergence and high levels of incomplete lineage sorting that occurred during a rapid radiation after the Cretaceous-Paleogene mass extinction event about 66 million years ago.

In an attempt to better resolve some of the earliest branches in the dinoflagellate phylogenetic tree, we sequenced Hsp90 gene sequences from 17 different species of dinoflagellates, covering as many orders as possible; consequently, the Hsp90 gene data set for dinoflagellates was more than doubled.
