Revision of Dendrocerus Kyle Burks 10.6084/m9.figshare.1603028.v1 https://figshare.com/articles/presentation/Revision_of_Dendrocerus/1603028 <p>Revision of Dendrocerus (Hymenoptera, Megaspilidae): Deciphering an esoteric taxon through an integrative approach</p> <p>Dendrocerus, like much of Ceraphronoidea, can be a problematic taxon to work with. Intraspecies morphological variability is high, while interspecies variability can be low. To revise the Neararctic Dendrocerus, I am using an integrative taxonomical approach which combines morphological and molecular data. I use various imaging techniques, such as bright field and confocal laser scanning microscopy, dissections, and mitochondrial DNA to attempt to resolve the relationships within this group.</p> 2015-11-15 05:31:08 morphology taxonomy Ceraphronoidea Dendrocerus ESA 2015 Evolutionary Biology
