Phylogenomic analysis uncovers evolutionary relationships in Bibionomorpha, suggesting ancient origins.

The research aims to clarify the evolutionary history and relationships within the Bibionomorpha infraorder using phylogenomic data.
Constructed phylogenomic tree using transcriptomic and genomic data
Generated a fossil-calibrated time tree for evolutionary timeline analysis
Conducted phylogenetic network analysis to explore reticulation events
Bibionomorpha is identified as the sister group to Brachycera
Axymyiidae and Perissommatidae are not part of Bibionomorpha
Reticulation analysis suggests a possible ancestral hybridization event among certain families
Time tree estimation points to a Lower Triassic or earlier origin for Bibionomorpha

Lim et al. (2026) studied this question.
