The mitochondrial (mt) genome is, to date, the most extensively studied genomic system in
insects, outnumbering nuclear genomes tenfold and representing all orders versus very few …

The study of Hemipteran mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) began with the Chagas
disease vector, Triatoma dimidiata, in 2001. At present, 90 complete Hemipteran …

Over the past decade the mitochondrial (mt) genome has become the most widely used
genomic resource available for systematic entomology. While the availability of other types …

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 …

The Calyptratae, one of the most species‐rich fly clades, only originated and diversified after
the Cretaceous–Palaeogene extinction event and yet exhibit high species diversity and a …

The lack of reliable tools for species identification of necrophagous blowflies of the Middle
East is a serious obstacle to the development of forensic entomology in the majority of …

Global loss of biodiversity is an ongoing process that concerns both local and global
authorities. Studies of biodiversity mainly involve traditional methods using morphological …

True flies are insects of the order Diptera and encompass one of the most diverse groups of
animals on Earth. Within dipterans, Schizophora represents a recent radiation of insects that …

Bot flies (Oestridae) are obligate endoparasites of mammals, and their extraordinary
diversification is of great importance in understanding the evolution of parasitism. However …

The diverse superfamily Oestroidea with more than 15 000 known species includes among
others blow flies, flesh flies, bot flies and the diverse tachinid flies. Oestroidea exhibit …
