Phylogenetic analyses suggest that diversification and body size evolution are independent in insects

BACKGROUND: Skewed body size distributions and the high relative richness of small-bodied taxa are a fundamental property of a wide range of animal clades. The evolutionary processes responsible for generating these distributions are well described in vertebrate model systems but have yet to be expl...
