topics (OpenAlex): Mosquito-borne diseases and control; Evolution and Paleontology Studies; Vector-borne infectious diseases
TL;DR: An origin of mosquitoes in the early Triassic is supported, considerably older than previous estimates and that mosquito diversification and host-use patterns within major lineages appear to coincide in earth history both with major continental drift events and with the diversification of vertebrate classes.

Phylogenetic resolution of the fly superfamily Ephydroidea–Molecular systematics of the enigmatic and diverse relatives of Drosophilidae

Winkler, I. S., Kirk-Spriggs, A. H., Bayless, K. M., Soghigian, J., Meier, R., Pape, T., … Wiegmann, B. M. (2022, October 5). PLoS ONE, Vol. 17.

MeSH headings : Acetic Acid; Animals; Drosophilidae / genetics; Phylogeny
topics (OpenAlex): Insect behavior and control techniques; Diptera species taxonomy and behavior; Forensic Entomology and Diptera Studies
TL;DR: To resolve relationships among a diverse sample of Ephydroidea, including the highly modified flies in the families Braulidae and Mormotomyiidae, phylogenomic sampling reaffirm that sampling of both taxa and characters is critical in hyperdiverse clades and that these factors have a major influence on phylogenomic reconstruction of the history of the schizophoran fly radiation.
