Phylogenomics of Anthomyiidae and a revised classification of Scathophagidae (Diptera: Calyptratae)

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
Family Anthomyiidae is revised using a broad sampling of genera, including the Neotropical Coenosopsia and Phaonantho, which are recovered as Coenosopsiinae Bailey & Michelsen (subfam. nov.). The former family Scathophagidae is recovered within the family Anthomyiidae with strong support and relegated to subfamily rank as Scathophaginae (stat.

Multigenome DNA sequence conservation identifies Hox cis-regulatory elements [PDF]

, 2008
To learn how well ungapped sequence comparisons of multiple species can predict cis-regulatory elements in Caenorhabditis elegans, we made such predictions across the large, complex ceh-13/lin-39 locus and tested them transgenically. We also examined how

Phylogenetic Systematics of the Species‐Groups of Apanteles and Related Genera From China Based on Mitogenomes

Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The tribe Apantelini sensu Mason is the largest tribe within the subfamily Microgastrinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae). It consists of parasitoids that attack a wide range of families of Lepidoptera and have potential significance for biological control. However, genera (and species‐groups) included in this tribe often overlap, and due to the large number

Another way of being anisogamous in Drosophila subgenus species: giant sperm, one-to-one gamete ratio, and high zygote provisioning. [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1994
It is generally assumed that sexes in animals have arisen from a productivity versus provisioning conflict; males are those individuals producing gametes necessarily small, in excess, and individually bereft of all paternity assurance. A 1- to 2-cm sperm, 5-10 times as long as the male body, might therefore appear an evolutionary paradox.

The Hidden Diptera Diversity in Aristolochia Trap‐Flowers: Revealing the Identity of Pollinators Through Taxonomic Knowledge

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 10, Page 1502-1512, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Although Diptera is one of the most diverse insect orders with a high potential for pollinating plants, it remains poorly studied and neglected. This is partly due to limited taxonomic efforts in species identification. For instance, despite being primary pollinators of trap flowers, species‐level identification in these systems remains scarce.

New tsetse (Glossina fuscipes fuscipes) genomes generated from wild and laboratory‐reared specimens

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1588-1596, October 2025.
Abstract Tsetse (Glossina spp.) are vectors of African trypanosomes that cause devastating human and animal African trypanosomiases. While much of the research to better understand tsetse genetics and physiology relies on colony‐reared flies, these flies may not represent the genetic diversity found in natural wild populations due to their long‐term ...

Characterization of the chemoreceptor repertoire of a highly specialized fly with comparisons to other Drosophila species

Genetics and Molecular Biology
To explore the diversity of scenarios in nature, animals have evolved tools to interact with different environmental conditions. Chemoreceptors are an important interface component and among them, olfactory receptors (ORs) and gustatory receptors (GRs ...

Mesozoic fossils (>145 Mya) suggest the antiquity of the subgenera of Daphniaand their coevolution with chaoborid predators [PDF]

, 2011
Background The timescale of the origins of Daphnia O. F. Mueller (Crustacea: Cladocera) remains controversial. The origin of the two main subgenera has been associated with the breakup of the supercontinent Pangaea.

Comparative Genomics of Sex‐Determination‐Related Genes Reveals Shared Evolutionary Patterns Between Bivalves and Mammals, but Not Fruit Flies

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 20, October 2025.
ABSTRACT The molecular basis of sex determination (SD), while being extensively studied in model organisms, remains poorly understood in many animal groups. Bivalves, a diverse class of molluscs with a variety of reproductive modes, represent an ideal yet challenging clade for investigating SD and the evolution of sexual systems.
