topology · geochronology
A sampled transcriptomic topology and calibrated timescale, not a direct observation of hymenopteran origin.
Transcriptomic sampling across hymenopteran lineages resolves many relationships and supplies fossil-calibrated divergence estimates. Those estimates depend on sampled taxa, loci, calibrations and clock models and do not equal a global Hymenoptera FAD.
claim:taxon:hymenopteraPeters et al. sample transcriptomes across major hymenopteran lineages and Zhang et al. compile named fossil occurrences including Triassic xyelids; the combined evidence is a study-bounded sample, not a complete geographic map of Hymenoptera.
claim:taxon:hymenoptera:biogeographyThe sampled Hymenoptera include parasitoid, predatory and pollinating life-history contexts discussed by Peters et al.; those guild examples document ecological diversity in the sample and are not traits assigned to every hymenopteran.
claim:taxon:hymenoptera:ecologyPeters et al. infer relationships among sampled hymenopteran lineages from transcriptomes and fossil calibrations, while Zhang et al. review competing fossil and molecular interpretations; the atlas retains this as a sampled, revisable classification rather than a single definitive tree.
