Phylogenetic classification of the Drosophilidae Rondani (Diptera): the role of morphology in the postgenomic era

The study shows the necessity of analysing morphological characters within a molecular phylogenetic framework to translate molecular phylogenies into taxonomically-comprehensive classifications.

DrosoPhyla: Resources for Drosophilid Phylogeny and Systematics

A new framework for investigating the evolution of traits in fruit flies is established, and the phylogenetic position of some previously unplaced species are determined.

Phylogenetic analysis and a time tree for a large drosophilid data set (Diptera: Drosophilidae)

Results suggest that vicariance played a significant role in the radiation of fruit flies and suggest that a few drosophilid lineages survived the Cretaceous–Palaeogene extinction.

DrosoPhyla: genomic resources for drosophilid phylogeny and systematics

A new framework for investigating the evolution of traits in fruit flies is established, and the phylogenetic position of some previously unplaced species is determined.

Phylogeography of the Subgenus Drosophila (Diptera: Drosophilidae): Evolutionary History of Faunal Divergence between the Old and the New Worlds

The results substantially support Throckmorton’s hypothesis of ancestral migrations via the Bering Land Bridge mainly from the Old to the New World, and subsequent vicariant divergence of descendants between the two Worlds occurred in parallel among different lineages of the subgenus Drosophila.

Phylogeny of the African and Asian Phortica (Drosophilidae) deduced from nuclear and mitochondrial DNA sequences.

A supermatrix-based molecular phylogeny of the family Drosophilidae.

It is argued that the results support a taxonomic revision of the genus Drosophila, which is known to be paraphyletic with respect to several other genera, but considerable uncertainty remains about other aspects of the phylogeny.

Spermatogenesis of Zaprionus indianus and Zaprionus sepsoides (Diptera, Drosophilidae): Cytochemical, structural and ultrastructural characterization

Spermatogenesis and the ultrastructure of spermatozoa were similar in the two species, and the diploid number was confirmed to be 2n = 12, which indicates that these structures are conserved in the family Drosophilidae.

A phylogeny of Drosophilidae using the Amyrel gene: questioning the Drosophila melanogaster species group boundaries

The phylogenetic relationships of 164 species of the family Drosophilidae are discussed, using the Amyrel gene, a member of the a-amylase multigene family, to raise the species subgroups ananassae and montium to the rank of species group and restrict the melanogaster species group to the melanogsaster subgroup plus the Oriental subgroups.

It is proposed that a combination of small body size, rapid generation time and unique ecological and physiological adaptations have allowed this genus to effectively disperse and diversify in Hawaii.

Four main lineages or clades which do not correspond to the taxonomical hierarchy of Drosophilidae are revealed and additional sequencing will be necessary to determine their precise relationships.

Molecular and morphological evidence supports the inclusion of A. radiatus in the genus Strophitus, and the binomial Strophus radiatus is resurrected to resurrect their shared common ancestry, as well as finding strong support for polyphyly in Stroph Titus.

Fine structural analysis of the thoracic longitudinal stripes of Zaprionus vittiger (Diptera)

The structure of the longitudinal zebra stripes on the thorax of adult Zaprionus vittiger has been investigated and it is suggested that the pigment granules in the epidermal cells cause the dark color of the dark brown stripes, whereas the form andructure of the bent grooved type trichomes cause the white color ofThe central stripe.
