How You Can Participate?
One goal of the Anomaline Network is to conduct a molecular
phylogenetic research on the world-wide Anomalini. Results
of this research will create a foundation for understanding
the evolution of the group and will provide a predictive framework
for addressing: (1) potential introduced pest species, (2)
evolution of species and variation, (3) adaptive radiation,
and (4) assessment of informative versus uninformative morphological
characters in this group. To
conduct this research, we need representatives from all genera
of Anomalini world-wide.

Specimens
need to be collected in 95% alcohol and associate with full
collecting data.
We will post up-dates of the phylogenetic tree as it is developed.
