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
Single-copy nuclear genes resolve the phylogeny of the holometabolous insects
Brian M. Wiegmann,Michelle D. Trautwein,Jung Wook Kim,Brian K. Cassel,Matthew A. Bertone,Shaun L. Winterton,David K. Yeates +6 more
TL;DR: Evidence from nucleotide sequences of six single-copy nuclear protein coding genes used to reconstruct phylogenetic relationships and estimate evolutionary divergence times is presented, finding strong support for a close relationship between Coleoptera (beetles) and Strepsiptera, a previously proposed, but analytically controversial relationship.
Journal ArticleDOI
A gross anatomy ontology for hymenoptera.
TL;DR: The Hymenoptera Anatomy Ontology provides a foundation through which connections between genomic, evolutionary developmental biology, phylogenetic, taxonomic, and morphological research can be actualized and is available through the OBO Foundry ontology repository and BioPortal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic analysis and temporal diversification of mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) based on nuclear genes and morphology
Kyanne R Reidenbach,Shelley Cook,Matthew A. Bertone,Ralph E. Harbach,Brian M. Wiegmann,Nora J. Besansky +5 more
TL;DR: The results support the notion of rapid radiations early in the diversification of mosquitoes, and suggest the need for additional taxonomic sampling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetics and temporal diversification of the earliest true flies (Insecta: Diptera) based on multiple nuclear genes
TL;DR: Relationships among families of the lower Diptera (formerly suborder ‘Nematocera’) are resolved using sequence data from four nuclear markers, including both ribosomal (28S rDNA) and protein‐coding (CAD, TPI and PGD) genes, and the results support both novel and traditional arrangements.
