The paper examines egg size and shape evolution in 29 drosophilid species, finding negative allometry between egg size and adult body size and moderate phylogenetic signal.

The paper identifies two new -amylase genes in Histoplasma and shows their roles in -glucan biosynthesis and virulence, revealing ancient gene duplications.

The paper measures wing loading in 30 Drosophila species under controlled conditions and finds it lacks phylogenetic signal, unlike body mass and wing area.

The paper examines how flight feather evolution rates and disparity vary along the wing, finding higher rates toward the wingtip and evidence for modularity.

The paper investigates genetic diversity and sex differentiation in Lutzomyia longipalpis, identifying sex chromosomes and population structure across South America.

This study shows temperature affects mating rates and reproductive isolation in Drosophila species and heterospecific crosses.

This study identifies phenotypic traits that distinguish five cryptic species of Histoplasma, aiding clinical identification and evolutionary research.

PhyloMatcher resolves taxonomic name conflicts by querying taxonomic databases to find synonyms for target species names.
