Molecular phylogeny of the horse flies: a framework for renewing tabanid taxonomy

MORITA, S. H. E. L. A. H. I., BAYLESS, K. E. I. T. H. M., YEATES, D. A. V. I. D. K., & WIEGMANN, B. R. I. A. N. M. (2015, September 26). Systematic Entomology, Vol. 41, pp. 56–72.

By: S. Morita n, K. Bayless n, D. Yeates * & B. Wiegmann n 

topics (OpenAlex): Diptera species taxonomy and behavior; Forensic Entomology and Diptera Studies; Insect symbiosis and bacterial influences
TL;DR: A newly revised phylogenetic framework for Tabanidae forms the basis for a new assessment of tabanid diversification and provides context for understanding the evolution of trophic specialization in horse flies. (via Semantic Scholar)

2009 article

Not All Oak Gall Wasps Gall Oaks: The Description of Dryocosmus rileypokei, A New, Apostate Species of Cynipini from California

Buffington, M. L., & Morita, S. I. (2009, January 1). Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Washington.

By: M. Buffington * & S. Morita n

author keywords: Dryocosmus; Chrysolepis; new species; gall wasp; predisperal seed predator
topics (OpenAlex): Hymenoptera taxonomy and phylogeny; Insect-Plant Interactions and Control; Research on scale insects
TL;DR: Dryocosmus rileypokei is described, a new species, a second species of cynipine which attacks Chrysolepis sempervirens and creates a gall within the mesocarp wall of the nut and appears to draw nutrients away from the developing seed. (via Semantic Scholar)
