Phylogenetic and Morphological Data on Mesozoic Pollinating Lacewings

15.3 MB of supplementary data for a study on the evolution of pollinating lacewings during the Cretaceous Terrestrial Revolution. The dataset includes files for phylogenetic analyses, divergence time estimation, ancestral state reconstruction, morphospace analyses, and diversification rates. It was authored by Jinglei Wang and last updated on 2026-04-14.

Use Cases

• Reconstructing phylogenetic relationships based on the provided phylogenetic analysis data.
• Estimating divergence times for lacewing lineages based on the divergence time estimation data.
• Inferring ancestral traits and pollination behaviors based on the ancestral state reconstruction data.
• Analyzing morphological diversity and disparity based on the morphospace analysis data.
• Modeling speciation and extinction rates based on the diversification rate analysis data.

Strengths

• Data is structured into five distinct analysis files (S1-S5) covering key evolutionary biology methods.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license, allowing for reuse and modification.
• File size of 15.3 MB indicates a focused, manageable dataset for analysis.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for specific modeling tasks.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
