Molecular Entomology 2024, Vol.15, No.2, 43-51 http://emtoscipublisher.com/index.php/me 47 Figure 1 Reconstructed phylogenetic tree of Coleoptera (beetles), including genomic data from 146 beetle species and their close relatives (Adopted from Mckenna et al., 2019) Image caption: Different superfamilies are color-coded, and the distribution of certain gene families (e.g., GH1, GH9) is shown. These gene families are associated with plant cell wall-degrading enzymes that help beetles break down lignocellulose in plants. The figure also indicates a link between the emergence of these enzyme genes and beetle diversification, particularly in the evolution of herbivorous beetles (Adopted from Mckenna et al., 2019)
