The Black Flies (Simuliidae) of North America
Homology and phylogenetic implications of male genitalia in Diptera - Eremoneura
TLDR
The above characters support the monophyly of the Eremoneura and also indicate that the Empidoidea and Cyclorrhapha are sister groups, as opposed to alternative hypotheses that suggest the EmPidoideA is paraphyletic with respect to the Cyclor rhapha.

TACHINIDAE: evolution, behavior, and ecology.
TLDR
Way in which investigation of these parasitoids provides insight into such topics as biogeographic patterns of diversity, the evolution of ecological specialization, the tritrophic context of enemy-herbivore interactions, and the role of host location behavior in shaping host range is highlighted.

DNA barcodes affirm that 16 species of apparently generalist tropical parasitoid flies (Diptera, Tachinidae) are not all generalists
TLDR
The results reinforce the emerging suspicion that estimates of global species richness are likely underestimates for parasitoids and that the strategy of being a tropical generalist parasitic fly may be yet more unusual than has been envisioned for tachinids.

Homology and phylogenetic implications of male genitalia in diptera - lower Brachycera
Homology of male genitalic structures in the lower Brachycera is examined and implications for the phylogenetic relationships of the included families are discussed in light of other characters. The…

Integration of DNA barcoding into an ongoing inventory of complex tropical biodiversity
TLDR
Adding DNA barcoding to the inventory of the caterpillars, their food plants and parasitoids in northwestern Costa Rica has substantially improved the quality and depth of the inventory, and greatly multiplied the number of situations requiring further taxonomic work for resolution.

Early primary succession on the volcano Mount St. Helens
TLDR
Experiments and fine-scale observations suggest that successional sequences on Mount St. Helens are not mechanistically necessary, rather, they result from local cir- cumstances, landscape effects and chance.

Effects of the frequency, timing, and intensity of simulated browsing on growth and mortality of tree seedlings
TLDR
It is demonstrated that even 2 successive years of heavy winter clipping has little immediate effect on growth or survival of any of the three species.

The male genital tract and aedeagal components of the Diptera with a discussion of their phylogenetic significance
TLDR
The male genital tract of Diptera is surveyed, based on whole dissections, with emphasis on nematocerous infraorders and especially the Culicomorpha, and there is no convincing evidence for the monophyly of the Chironomoidea.

Patterns and Causes of Resistance to Tree Invasion in Rights‐of‐Way
TLDR
The duration ofmore » competition appears to have been more important than the initial intensity of competition in determining variation among communities in resistance to tree invasion.
