Geographical history of the central‐western Pacific black fly subgenus Inseliellum (Diptera: Simuliidae: Simulium) based on a reconstructed phylogeny of the species, hot‐spot archipelagoes and…
Aim With six new species of subgenus Inseliellum Rubtsov recently described, a revised reconstructed phylogeny based on morphology is required. Geological history of islands where Inseliellum… Expand

An ecological classification of primary labral fans of filter-feeding black fly (Diptera: Simuliidae) larvae
A conceptual model that uses labral-fan structure to predict the distribution of black fly species within a catchment is proposed. The model is based on water flow, seston availability, and the str...

Fluid transmission and filtration efficiency of the labral fans of black fly larvae (Diptera: Simuliidae): hydrodynamic, morphological, and behavioural aspects
Body stance and water flow through the labral fans of suspension-feeding Simulium vittatum Zetterstedt larvae were examined using dead and live larvae. Transmission of flowing water through the fans… Expand
