Episodic radiations in the fly tree of life
- B. Wiegmann, Michelle Trautwein, +24 authors D. Yeates
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 14 March 2011
Flies are one of four superradiations of insects (along with beetles, wasps, and moths) that account for the majority of animal life on Earth. Diptera includes species known for their ubiquity (Musca… Expand
Phylogenetics and temporal diversification of the earliest true flies (Insecta: Diptera) based on multiple nuclear genes
- Matthew A. Bertone, G. Courtney, B. Wiegmann
- Biology
- 1 October 2008
Abstract Relationships among families of the lower Diptera (formerly suborder ‘Nematocera’) have been exceptionally difficult to resolve. Multiple hypotheses based on morphology have been proposed to… Expand
The phylogenetic relationships among infraorders and superfamilies of Diptera based on morphological evidence
- Christine L. Lambkin, B. Sinclair, +6 authors B. Wiegmann
- Biology
- 1 January 2013
Members of the megadiverse insect order Diptera (flies) have successfully colonized all continents and nearly all habitats. There are more than 154 000 described fly species, representing 10–12% of… Expand
Phylogeny and systematics of Diptera: Two decades of progress and prospects
- D. Yeates, B. Wiegmann, G. Courtney, R. Meier, C. Lambkin, T. Pape
- Biology
- 21 December 2007
The Diptera, or true flies (mosquitoes, gnats, and house flies) comprise 12-15% of animal species, and are the most ecologically diverse order of insects, spanning ecological roles from detritivory… Expand
Phylogenetic synthesis of morphological and molecular data reveals new insights into the higher‐level classification of Tipuloidea (Diptera)
- M. Petersen, Matthew A. Bertone, B. Wiegmann, G. Courtney
- Biology
- 1 July 2010
Tipuloidea, the crane flies, are a diverse lineage of true flies (Insecta: Diptera) whose phylogenetic classification and taxonomy remain a challenge. Here we present the results of a quantitative… Expand

Cuticular morphology of larval mountain midges (Diptera : Deuterophlebiidae) : implications for the phylogenetic relationships of Nematocera
- G. Courtney
- Biology
- 1 March 1990
The cuticular structure of larval mountain midges (Diptera: Deuterophlebiidae) is described, with emphasis on cranial and mouthpart morphology. Homologies are suggested for musculature and external… Expand

Revision of Nearctic mountain midges (Diptera: Deuterophlebiidae)
- G. Courtney
- Biology
- 1 February 1990
Previously undescribed character systems are evaluated and incorporated in a redescription of the genus Deuterophlebia Edwards (Diptera: Deuterophlebiidae). Nearctic species of mountain midges are… Expand
Phylogenetic analysis of the Blephariceromorpha, with special reference to mountain midges (Diptera: Deuterophlebiidae)
- G. Courtney
- Biology
- 1 April 1991
Abstract. A cladistic analysis of the Blephariceromorpha (here including the Nymphomyiidae, Deuterophlebiidae and Blephariceridae) and related Diptera provides a test of the phylogenetic hypotheses… Expand
