Phylogenetic Relationships of Baetidae (Ephemeroptera)

Abstract

This research intends to expand the current understanding of the mayfly family Baetidae, also known as small minnow mayflies. Baetidae is the most diverse family of mayfly with 110 genera and over 1000 described species. Baetids are in a unique evolutionary position in relation to other mayflies and may help shed light well on many evolutionary trends within the order of these anciently derived winged insects. The project presents a combined DNA analysis of traditional mitochondrial and ribosomal genes used in molecular phylogenetics in addition to new phylogenomic data to estimate the relationships of the main lineages within the Baetidae family.
