Episodic radiations in the fly tree of life
Brian M. Wiegmann,Michelle D. Trautwein,Isaac S. Winkler,Norman B. Barr,Jung Wook Kim,Christine L. Lambkin,Matthew A. Bertone,Brian K. Cassel,Keith M. Bayless,Alysha M. Heimberg,Benjamin M. Wheeler,Kevin J. Peterson,Thomas Pape,Bradley J. Sinclair,Jeffrey H. Skevington,Vladimir Blagoderov,Jason Caravas,Sujatha Narayanan Kutty,Urs Schmidt-Ott,Gail E. Kampmeier,F. Christian Thompson,David A. Grimaldi,Andrew T. Beckenbach,Gregory W. Courtney,Markus Friedrich,Rudolf Meier,David K. Yeates +26 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that flies experienced three episodes of rapid radiation—lower Diptera (220 Ma), lower Brachycera (180 Ma), and Schizophora (65 Ma)—and a number of life history transitions to hematophagy, phytophagy and parasitism in the history of fly evolution over 260 million y.
Journal ArticleDOI
A mitochondrial genome phylogeny of Diptera: whole genome sequence data accurately resolve relationships over broad timescales with high precision
TL;DR: The addition of ribosomal and transfer RNA genes to the protein coding genes traditionally used in mitochondrial genome phylogenies improved the resolution and support, contrary to previous suggestions that these genes would evolve too quickly or prove too difficult to align to provide phylogenetic signal at deep nodes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Beyond barcoding: A mitochondrial genomics approach to molecular phylogenetics and diagnostics of blowflies (Diptera: Calliphoridae)
Leigh A. Nelson,Christine L. Lambkin,Philip J. Batterham,James F. Wallman,Mark Dowton,Michael F. Whiting,David K. Yeates,Stephen L. Cameron +7 more
TL;DR: Comparison of molecular divergences for each of the 13 protein-coding genes and 2 ribosomal RNA genes, at a range of taxonomic scales identified novel targets for developing as diagnostic markers which were 117-200% more variable than the markers which have been used previously in calliphorids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogeny and systematics of Diptera: Two decades of progress and prospects
David K. Yeates,Brian M. Wiegmann,Gregory W. Courtney,Rudolf Meier,Christine L. Lambkin,Thomas Pape +5 more
TL;DR: The Diptera, or true flies, are the most ecologically diverse order of insects, spanning ecological roles from detritivory to vertebrate blood feeding and leaf mining, and major recent phylogenetic analyses are summarized in a supertree for the Diptera.
Journal ArticleDOI
The phylogenetic relationships among infraorders and superfamilies of Diptera based on morphological evidence
Christine L. Lambkin,Bradley J. Sinclair,Thomas Pape,Gregory W. Courtney,Jeffrey H. Skevington,Rudolf Meier,David K. Yeates,Vladimir Blagoderov,Brian M. Wiegmann +8 more
TL;DR: The first numerical analysis of phylogenetic relationships of the entire order of Diptera using a comprehensive morphological character matrix is presented, and low levels of support for relationships between the infraorders of lower Diptera, lower Brachycera and major lineages of lower Cyclorrhapha are found.
