Abstract:Applying BEAST v1.10.4, we constructed a Bayesian Inference tree comprising 322 taxa, primarily representing Paleoptera (Odonata and Ephemeroptera; Pterygota), Zygentoma and Archaeognatha (Apterygota; paraphyly), and Neoptera (Plecoptera; Pterygota), based on a 2685 bp sequence dataset. Our analyses revealed that robust dating required the incorporation of both Quaternary and pre‐Quaternary dates. To achieve this, our dating incorporated a 1.55 Ma (Quaternary) geological event (the formation of the Ryukyu Isla… Show more
