The evolution of marine dwelling in Diptera. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2021 Highlights of the marine fly tree of life show several independent transitions to the marine environment. The distribution of marine‐dwelling Diptera has challenged the notion that marine flies are a rare phenomenon. Multiple mechanisms for adapting to the marine conditions are likely at play.

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