A phylogenetic analysis of selected oestroid taxa based on 66 morphological traits and
sequences from three nuclear protein‐coding genes (CAD, MAC, MCS) resolved the …

Cluster flies of the genus Pollenia are known as mass invaders of human dwellings, but are
important plant pollinators in the temperate climatic zone. Despite being the most species …

A key to the world genera and a checklist of the world species for the family Polleniidae,

Abstract The Neotropical family Mesembrinellidae is revised. A total of 53 valid, extant
species are included in the family, including 15 described as new and 38 redescribed based …

Species determination of the various life stages of flies (Order: Diptera) is challenging,
particularly for the immature forms, because analogous life stages of different species are …

Flies in the family Sarcophagidae incubate their eggs and are known to be ovoviviparous
(ie, ovolarviparous), but a laboratory-maintained colony of Blaesoxipha plinthopyga …

Portschinskia Semenov is a rare genus of bot flies whose larvae are obligate parasites of
pikas and murine rodents, crucial for understanding the evolutionary biology of Oestridae …

Recent studies on oestroidean Diptera (Brachycera) are providing a comprehensive and
nuanced understanding of the evolutionary history of this remarkably diverse clade of …

We present a genome assembly from an individual female Pollenia amentaria (the black-
