Study of Mitogenomes Provides Implications for the Phylogenetics and Evolution of the Infraorder Muscomorpha in Diptera. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
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 ...

Does Faeces Excreted by Moxidectin-Treated Sheep Impact Coprophagous Insects and the Activity of Soil Microbiota in Subtropical Pastures? [PDF]

Scientifica (Cairo)
Moxidectin (MOX) is used to control helminth parasites in ruminant livestock. It is released through feces and remains in the environment for a long period. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of faeces excreted by moxidectin‐treated sheep on soil biodiversity (coprophagous insects, soil microbial biomass, and activity) to establish environment ...

Network analysis with either Illumina or MinION reveals that detecting vertebrate species requires metabarcoding of iDNA from a diverse fly community

Molecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 23, Page 6418-6435, December 2023., 2023
Abstract DNA obtained from invertebrates (iDNA) can be metabarcoded in order to survey vertebrate communities. However, little attention has been paid to the interaction between the invertebrate and vertebrate species. Here, we tested for specialization by sampling the dung and carrion fly community of a swamp forest remnant along a disturbance ...

Pollen layering and male–male competition: Quantum dots demonstrate that pollen grains compete for space on pollinators

American Journal of Botany, Volume 110, Issue 6, June 2023., 2023
Abstract Premise Almost nothing is known about what happens to pollen grains once they attach to pollinators, although some have postulated that pollen from different donors may form complex, two‐ or three‐dimensional landscapes (e.g., layers or mosaics) that can facilitate male–male competition.

A DNA barcode library for 5,200 German flies and midges (Insecta: Diptera) and its implications for metabarcoding-based biomonitoring. [PDF]

Mol Ecol Resour, 2019
Abstract This study summarizes results of a DNA barcoding campaign on German Diptera, involving analysis of 45,040 specimens. The resultant DNA barcode library includes records for 2,453 named species comprising a total of 5,200 barcode index numbers (BINs), including 2,700 COI haplotype clusters without species‐level assignment, so called “dark taxa.”

Efficiency of traps in collecting selected Diptera families according to the used bait: comparison of baits and mixtures in a field experiment

European Journal of Ecology, 2019
Traps made from PET bottles were used to assess the efficiency of four baits in terms of the number of individuals for selected Diptera families collecting in Eastern Slovak gardens in summer and autumn.

The revival of tribes: An analysis of Platystomatidae (Diptera, Tephritoidea) phylogeny based on external morphological traits

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
First comprehensive phylogenetic hypothesis for the fly family Platystomatidae, based on 194 morphological characters, confirming the monophyly of its four traditional subfamilies. Illustrations of the external and internal morphology of nearly all genera of Platystomatidae are presented here; in addition, a new genus, Trapheroplatystoma gen. nov., and

Phylogeny and taxonomy of the Australasian Zygaenula Doleschall, 1858 (Diptera: Platystomatidae) with a description of a new species

Austral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 4, November 2025.
Abstract Zygaenula Doleschall, 1858 and Mesoctenia Enderlein, 1924 syn. nov. are small genera restricted to the Australasia region. Here, both genera are considered synonymous, supported by the synapomorphy width of frons, in relation to height, more than two times. A new species, Zygaenula mcalpinei sp. nov.
