Study of Mitogenomes Provides Implications for the Phylogenetics and Evolution of the Infraorder Muscomorpha in Diptera. [PDF]
This study comparatively analyzed the mitogenome characteristics of 131 species that represent 18 superfamilies in Muscomorpha, in which mitogenomes of 16 species are newly sequenced and annotated herein. Further, we deduced their phylogenetics using maximum likelihood, and discussed their divergence time and evolution combined with taxonomy and ...

Effects of Crop Rotation Diversification and Livestock Integration on Above-Ground Arthropod Dynamics Under Conservation Agriculture. [PDF]
Diverse crops in conservation agriculture systems can support a variety of arthropods, while sampling methods affected arthropod diversity outcomes. Canola‐Medics‐Wheat‐Medics rotation had a varied effect on arthropod diversity. We suggest that multiple taxa are necessary to compare diversification practices.

Contributions to the Dance Flies (Diptera: Empididae) of Siirt Fauna, Turkey
The adults of the Empidid flies are small to medium-sized, usually shiny black or densely grey dusted species. The adults are very important in pollination because they are flower visitors.

The phylogeny of Empis and Rhamphomyia (Diptera, Empididae) investigated using UCEs including an over 150 years old museum specimen [PDF]
The genera Empis Linneus, 1758 and Rhamphomyia Meigen, 1822 (Empidoidea, Empididae Latreille, 1809) are two large genera of flies commonly named dagger flies. They are widely distributed in the world with most species described from the Palearctic Region.

24 million years of pollination interaction between European linden flowers and bumble bees. [PDF]
Summary Pollination is the most common insect–plant mutualism, binding them in a co‐evolutionary framework. Historic evidence of this interaction can be partly inferred from time‐calibrated molecular phylogenies of plant and insect lineages or directly from fossils.
