| molecular systematics of the simulium jenningsi species group (diptera: simuliidae), with three new fast-evolving nuclear genes for phylogenetic inference. | a molecular phylogeny was inferred for the 22 nominal species of black flies in the simulium jenningsi species group, which includes major pests of humans and livestock in north america. females are structurally monomorphic, presenting a problem for identification of the pests. for each species, we sequenced approximately two kilobases from the mitochondrial genome (nd2, cox i, proximal one-half of cox ii) and about six kilobases from the nuclear genome (ca. 2 kilobases each from 3 rapidly evolv ... | 2014 | 24602987 |
