Clearer picture of how assassin bugs evolved: Entomologists reconstruct the evolutionary histor
Assassin bugs, which lie in ambush for prey they attack with speed and agility, are found all over the world. But scientists' understanding of their evolutionary history is made difficult by access to incomplete data and only a limited number of young fossils. Entomologists have now produced a clearer snapshot of the entire evolutionary history of assassin bugs by integrating molecular, paleontological, behavioral and ecological data into their analyses.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/BkCvOoXsO7Y" height="1" width="1"/>
