A DNA barcode library for 5,200 German flies and midges (Insecta: Diptera) and its implications for metabarcoding‐based biomonitoring

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 19, Issue 4, Page 900-928, July 2019., 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.”

Seaside Sparrows reveal contrasting food web responses to large‐scale stressors in coastal Louisiana saltmarshes

Ecosphere, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2017., 2017
Abstract Large‐scale ecosystem disturbances can alter the flow of energy through food webs, but such processes are not well defined for Gulf of Mexico saltmarsh ecosystems vulnerable to multiple interacting stressors. The 2010 Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill significantly affected the composition of terrestrial saltmarsh communities in Louisiana, and

Species Composition and Visiting Frequencies of Flower Visitors of Chromolaena odorata in a Dry Zone Forest Patch of Sri Lanka

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
Plant‐animal interaction has been a major theme in ecology as it has helped ecologists to rule out different patterns they observed in the surrounding environments. Chromolaena odorata is another plant species that is studied extensively as it has become a major troublesome weed in many parts of the tropics.

Diversidade da dipterofauna necrófaga associada a diferentes matérias orgânicas em decomposição em dois tipos vegetacionais do semiárido pernambucano

EntomoBrasilis, 2017
Resumo. No semiárido, poucos são os estudos que abordam a dipterofauna necrófaga. Assim, o presente trabalho teve por objetivo realizar um levantamento da fauna de dípteros necrófagos e avaliar sua distribuição espaço-temporal em diferentes localidades ...

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

The Hidden Diptera Diversity in Aristolochia Trap‐Flowers: Revealing the Identity of Pollinators Through Taxonomic Knowledge

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 10, Page 1502-1512, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Although Diptera is one of the most diverse insect orders with a high potential for pollinating plants, it remains poorly studied and neglected. This is partly due to limited taxonomic efforts in species identification. For instance, despite being primary pollinators of trap flowers, species‐level identification in these systems remains scarce.

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.

Using fecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate the animal diet of black rails, yellow rails, and soras

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue 3, September 2025.
We used fecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate the diet of yellow rails, Eastern black rails, and sora during the non‐breeding season. Arthropods, particularly ants, were prevalent in their diets, suggesting possible interactions with invasive red imported fire ants.

First record of the genera Timia Wiedemann and Ulidia Meigen and their species T. berlandi (Séguy, 1953) and U. facialis Hendel, 1931 (Diptera, Ulidiidae, Ulidiinae) from Saudi Arabia

Journal of Basic and Applied Zoology
Background Two tribes of the family Ulidiidae were previously recognized from Saudi Arabia, namely Otitini and Ulidiini. Flies of the tribe Ulidiini are relatively small to medium-sized, mainly blackish-brown with some metallic sheen; however, several ...
