Relationship of thrips and other insects[edit]

I removed the section on how thrips were related to other insects, and this needs to be rewritten. I will hopefully get round to it, but thought quick explanations are in order as to why I removed what was already here. The article as written presented a sister relationship between Thysanoptera and Phthiraptera + Liposcelididae, but the article cited as support for this does not. This topology is shown in Figure 3, but this is dismissed in the same paper: "the grouping of Thysanoptera with Phthiraptera, and Sternorrhyncha with Thysanoptera, Liposcelididae and Phthiraptera has no support from morphological data nor nuclear gene sequences, and therefore is most likely phylogenetic artifacts." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kaficek (talk • contribs) 20:43, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
