Evolution, epidemiology, and population genetics of black flies (Diptera: Simuliidae)
PH Adler, RA Cheke, RJ Post - Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2010 - Elsevier
More than 2000 species of black flies feed on vertebrate blood; 1.5% of all species are
vectors of pathogens that cause human diseases. Of nine simuliid-borne animal diseases …

Evaluating nuclear protein-coding genes for phylogenetic utility in beetles
AL Wild, DR Maddison - Molecular phylogenetics and evolution, 2008 - Elsevier
Although nuclear protein-coding genes have proven broadly useful for phylogenetic
inference, relatively few such genes are regularly employed in studies of Coleoptera, the …
