Preliminary use of DNA sequences for Dohrniphora (Diptera: Phoridae) phylogeny and taxonomy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequence data from the nuclear CAD (rudimentary) and mitochondrial NDI, COI, and 16S gene regions (2817 bp total) recovered exemplars of the genus Dohrniphora as a monophyletic lineage. The data also supported the sister-group relationship of Dohrniphora + Diplonevra and were used to associate a morphologically dissimilar male and female of the species D. ecitophila. Further, we discuss the implications of this designation and provide support for the synonymy of D. ecitophila and D. geminata as proposed by Borgmeier (1968).

Revision of the New World Dohrniphora Dahl species lacking large hind tibial setae (Diptera: Phoridae)
The New World species of Dohrniphora lacking large hind tibial setae are revised, with 139 species recognized, most from the Neotropical Region. Of these, 88 are described as new to science. New synonymies are as follows: D. denticulata Borgmeier is a junior subjective synonym of D. penicillata Borgmeier, D. caverna Disney and D. recurvata Borgmeier are both junior subjective synonyms of D. div...
متن کاملA new type of ant-decapitation in the Phoridae (Insecta: Diptera)
The genus Dohrniphora is a hyperdiverse group of phorid flies, a family whose species are commonly characterized as generalized scavengers. The lifestyle of most species of Dohrniphora is unknown, although one cosmopolitan, synanthropic species, D.cornuta (Bigot) fits the general scavenger mold. Here we show that flies of the D.longirostrata species group exhibit highly specific "headhunting" b...

متن کاملThe Phylogeny of Calligonum and Pteropyrum (Polygonaceae) Based on Nuclear Ribosomal DNA ITS and Chloroplast trnL-F Sequences
This study represents phylogenetic analyses of two woody polygonaceous genera Calligonum and Pteropyrum using both chloroplast fragment (trnL-F) and the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (nrDNA ITS) sequence data. All inferred phylogenies using parsimony and Bayesian methods showed that Calligonum and Pteropyrum are both monophyletic and closely related taxa. They have no affinity w...
