Symbiosis: Did bacteria bias the beetle big bang?

Abstract

The massive species richness of certain taxonomic groups has long enchanted evolutionary biologists, but even within such groups there are biases in cladogenesis. A study of Metazoa's greatest radiation — the beetles — points to metabolic symbioses with bacteria as a possible driver of enhanced diversification in herbivorous clades.
