The main goals of our research are to improve the taxonomic status of Cucujoidea and to contribute toward a better understanding of cucujoid biology and evolutionary history.
The research focus of our lab is the systematics of the beetle superfamily Cucujoidea, a large and diverse group of 34 families and more than 19,000 described species.
The field of systematics comprises two principal activities, taxonomy and phylogenetics, which provide the language (scientific names) and the historical framework (evolutionary hypotheses) forming the foundation of the biological sciences.

 Whiting Lab--Insect Genomics
The Coleoptera superfamily Cucujoidea is extremely poorly known given the extreme size and diversity of the group.
McHugh (University of Georgia), M. Whiting and I are collaborating to improve the taxonomic and phylogenetic knowledge of the Cerylonid-series of families within the Cucujoidea.
Our work will include revisions of several genera, phylogenetic analysis of several groups to place them within the Cerylonid-series and a phylogenetic analysis of the Cucujoidea primarily emphasizing placement of the Cerylonid series of families.

 CSIRO PUBLISHING - Invertebrate Systematics   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Phylogenetic relationships among the basal Cucujoidea were reconstructed by a cladistic analysis of a data matrix consisting of 37 exemplar taxa and 99 adult and larval characters.
Eight most parsimonious cladograms provided evidence for the polyphyly of Phloeostichidae, the paraphyly of Cucujoidea (with respect to the placement of Trogossitidae), and the monophyly of Protocucujidae + Sphindidae, Biphyllidae + Erotylidae, Cryptophagidae, Cucujidae + Silvanidae, Propalticidae + Laemophloeidae, and the Nitidulidae groups (Nitidulidae, Smicripidae, and Brachypteridae).
These families are described in detail and adult and larval keys to all families of Cucujoidea are provided.

 ladybugs - Insecta: Coleoptera: Coccinellidae
Coccinellidae are a family of beetles belonging to the superfamily Cucujoidea, which in turn belongs to the series Cucujiformia within the suborder Polyphaga of the beetles (Coleoptera).
Their relatives within the Cucujoidea are the Endomychidae ("handsome fungus beetles") and Corylophidae ("minute fungus beetles").
Worldwide, some 4500 species of ladybirds are known, of which 98 are currently reported to occur in Florida (Table 1).

 12 spotted ladybug
The presence of large amounts of pollen and a protected inner ovary has led some paleobotanists to suggest that beetles were the pollinators of these plants.
(Delvoryas :1968), The first beetles belonging to the superfamily Cucujoidea appeared during the Jurassic.
The Cucujoidea share characteristics that allow them to survive in dry conditions.
