Evolutionary History of the Hymenoptera. (2017, background): “Morphological data have suggested a sister group relationship of Orussoidea and Apocrita (Vespina) [6, 15], but results from analyzing molecular data have been inconsistent [7, 9].”
A Total-Evidence Approach to Dating with Fossils, Applied to the Early Radiation of the Hymenoptera (2012, result): “3) is largely in agreement with previous hypotheses about interfamilial and inter-generic relationships in Hymenoptera (Heraty et al. 2011; Schulmeister 2003; Sharkey 2007; Sharkey et al. 2011; Vilhelmsen et al. 2010; Vilhelmsen 2001).”
Contributions to the knowledge of Formicidae (Hymenoptera, Aculeata): a new diagnosis of the family, the first global male-based key to subfamilies, and a treatment of early branching lineages (2015, background): “the metapleural spiracle may be covered by the supramesopleural sclerite (Vilhelmsen et al. 2010), which for ease is referred to as the spiracular sclerite here.”
Molecular phylogenetics of Braconidae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonoidea), based on multiple nuclear genes, and implications for classification (2011, background): “Regions were determined according to the model of secondary structure developed by Yoder & Gillespie (2004) and Gillespie et al. (2005) for rDNA in Ichneumonoidea.”
