Nematocera (lower Diptera) is a taxonomically diverse group with~ 52 000 species in 40
families, including many important agricultural and sanitary pests. The number and …

Mitogenomes have been widely used for phylogenetic reconstruction of various Dipteran
groups, but specifically for chironomid, they have not been carried out to resolve the …

Diptera is often considered to be the richest insect group due to its great species diversity
and broad ecological versatility. However, data on dipteran diversity from subtropical …

Background The mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) has been extensively used for
phylogenetic and evolutionary analysis in Diptera, but the study of mitogenome is still scarce …

Evolutionary analysis of Prodiamesinae has long been impeded by lack of information, and
its phylogenetic relationship with Orthocladiinae remains questionable. Here, ten complete …

Simple Summary Black-winged fungus gnats (family Sciaridae) are one of the most species-
rich groups of flies (Diptera), with about 3000 described species worldwide. Their taxonomy …

Abstract The family Mycetophilidae (Diptera: Sciaroidea) consists of more than 4,500
described species distributed worldwide. Among them, dozens of species have been …

Soil biota has a crucial impact on soil ecology, global climate changes, and effective crop
management and studying the diverse ecological roles of dipteran larvae deepens the …

Despite the worldwide distribution and rich diversity of the infraorder Bibionomorpha in
Diptera, the characteristics of mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) are still little-known …

Sciarids, also called “fungus gnats” are small, almost entirely dark‐coloured insects. Sciarid
larvae feed on different substrates and can infest agricultural crops and mushroom …
