Phylogenetic analysis and temporal diversification of mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) based on nuclear genes and morphologyKyanne R Reidenbach
Eck Institute for Global Health, Department of Biological Sciences, University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, IN 46556, USA
BMC Evol Biol 9:298. 2009..The generic and suprageneric relationships within mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) are poorly resolved, making these subjects difficult to address...
Single-copy nuclear genes resolve the phylogeny of the holometabolous insectsBrian M Wiegmann
Department of Entomology, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, North Carolina, USA
BMC Biol 7:34. 2009..Here we present evidence from nucleotide sequences of six single-copy nuclear protein coding genes used to reconstruct phylogenetic relationships and estimate evolutionary divergence times for all holometabolan orders...

Department of Entomology, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC, USA
Mol Phylogenet Evol 43:808-32. 2007..These estimates indicate Acroceridae likely evolved during the late Triassic but did not diversify greatly until the Cretaceous...

Department of Entomology, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, North Carolina 27695, USA
Syst Biol 52:745-56. 2003..This study provides increased resolution of brachyceran phylogeny, and our revised estimates of fly ages should improve the temporal context of evolutionary inferences and genomic comparisons between fly model organisms...

PLoS Curr 3:RRN1233. 2011..The large subfamily Bombyliinae is found to be polyphyletic and our data does not provide evidence for the monophyly of Tomophthalmae or the 'sand chamber subfamilies'...
