The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The genus Thrips (Thysanoptera, Thripidae) in Australia, New Caledonia and New Zealand (2005, background): “Similarly, the insect group considered here, the Thysanoptera, includes many taxa that may be Gondwanan in origin (Crespi et al., 2004), although the northern Australian thrips fauna has very close relationships to that of Indonesia (Austin et al., 2004; Mound 2004).”
Phylogeny of thrips (Insecta: Thysanoptera) based on five molecular loci (2013, background): “An exception is the ‘model-clade’ (Crespi et al., 2004) used to examine the evolution of behavioural and ecological diversity among the Acacia thrips of Australia.”
Insects ‘Down Under’– Diversity, endemism and evolution of the Australian insect fauna: examples from select orders (2004, background): “It has not yet proved possible to suggest a sister-group to this diverse lineage (Crespi et al. 2004), no species that might be considered similar having been found on any plants in habitats surrounding the Acacia hosts.”
