Evolution of Lower Brachyceran Flies (Diptera) and Their Adaptive Radiation with Angiosperms
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017 The Diptera (true flies) is one of the most species-abundant orders of Insecta, and it is also among the most important flower-visiting insects. Dipteran fossils are abundant in the Mesozoic, especially in the Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous. Here, we

Records of the Zoological Survey of India, 2023 Pollen transportation and pollination is an essential ecological function. Flies of order Diptera perform a significant role in transfer of pollen and pollination to some extent (Raguso, 2020). In tropical island ecosystems the flower visiting dipteran flies may function simultaneously with the bees to maintain a healthy ecosystem service. However, the

The complete mitochondrial genome of Melanostoma orientale (Diptera: Syrphidae)
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020 The mitochondrial genome of Melanostoma orientale has been decoded by Illumina sequencing. The mitogenomic size is 16,229 bp with 40.96% A, 40.29% T, 10.60% C, and 8.15% G. It is encoded with 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA, and 22 transfer RNAs.
