Quantifying the extent of morphological homoplasy: A phylogenetic analysis of 490 characters in Drosophila. [PDF]
Evol Lett, 2019 Abstract Homoplasy is a fundamental phenomenon in evolutionary biology but an appraisal of its extent at the morphological level is still lacking. Here, we analyzed the evolution of 490 morphological characters conceptualized among 56 drosophilid species. We found that two thirds of morphological changes were homoplastic and that the level of homoplasy

Reproductive Organ of Blow Fly, Chrysomya megacephala (Diptera: Calliphoridae): Ultrastructural of Testis. [PDF]
J Parasitol Res, 2011 This work presents the ultrastructure of testis of the medically important blow fly, Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) using light microscopy and electron microscopy. Reproductive organ of males was dissected to determine the testis in the pupal stage, 3‐day‐old flies and 7‐day‐old flies and observed under scanning electron ...

Ancient origin for Hawaiian Drosophilinae inferred from protein comparisons. [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1985 Immunological comparisons of a larval hemolymph protein enabled us to build a tree relating major groups of drosophiline flies in Hawaii to one another and to continental flies. The tree agrees in topology with that based on internal anatomy. Relative rate tests suggest that evolution of hemolymph proteins has been about as fast in Hawaii as on ...
