Abstract Hoverflies (Diptera: Syrphidae) are a diverse group of pollinators and a major
research focus in ecology, but their phylogenetic relationships remain incompletely known …

Abstract Flower flies (Diptera: Syrphidae) are one of the most species‐rich dipteran families
and provide important ecosystem services such as pollination, biological control of pests …

Abstract With over 80 species, Milesia Latreille, 1804 is a hoverfly genus (Diptera:
Syrphidae) found in all continents except for Australia and the Antarctica. However, little is …

Abstract The Holy Grail of an Insect Tree of Life can only be 'discovered'through extensive
collaboration among taxon specialists, phylogeneticists and centralized frameworks such as …

Abstract With 14 species, Pelecocera Meigen, 1822 is a scarce and small genus of
hoverflies (Diptera: Syrphidae: Rhingiini) from the Holarctic Region. Apart from the finding of …

The mitochondrial genome has become the most widely used genomic resource in resolving
the insect phylogenetic relationships. In this study, we assess the interrelationships among …

Abstract Introduction Flower flies (Diptera: Syrphidae; also known as hoverflies) are
important pollinators of wild and cultivated plants. Other pollinators such as bees have …

Abstract Hoverflies (Diptera: Syrphidae) provide an excellent opportunity to study the
evolution of Batesian mimicry, where defenseless prey avoid predation by evolving to …

Based on adult morphology and DNA barcoding, two flower fly species are reported for the
first time from India: Helophilus trivittatus (Fabricius, 1805) and Lejogaster tarsata (Megerle …

We examined the phylogeny and intrageneric classification of eristaline hoverfly genera
from the Afrotropical Region using mitochondrial genomes. Genome skimming was used to …
