| increasing the data size to accurately reconstruct the phylogenetic relationships between nine subgroups of the drosophila melanogaster species group (drosophilidae, diptera). | previous phylogenetic analyses of the melanogaster species group have led to conflicting hypotheses concerning their relationship; therefore the addition of new sequence data is necessary to discover the phylogeny of this species group. here we present new data derived from 17 genes and representing 48 species to reconstruct the phylogeny of the melanogaster group. a variety of statistical tests, as well as maximum likelihood mapping analysis, were performed to estimate data quality, suggesting ... | 2012 | 21985965 |
