Phylogenetic Analyses Support the Monophyly of the Genus <i>Lispe</i> Latreille (Diptera: Muscidae) with Insights into Intrageneric Relationships by Yunyun Gao, Yingqiang Ge, Liping Yan, Nikita E. Vikhrev, Qike Wang, Nathan J. Butterworth, Dong Zhang

“…The phylogenetic analyses indicated that the monophyletic <i>Lispe</i> is the sister group of the monophyletic <i>Limnophora</i>, together forming the tribe Limnophorini under the subfamily Coenosiinae. Three generic categories are proven obsolete: <i>Chaetolispa</i> Malloch, <i>Lispacoenosia</i> Snyder, and <i>Xenolispa</i> Malloch. …”

First report of mitogenome of Lispe assimilis (Diptera, Muscidae) yielded by next-generation sequencing by Yunyun Gao, Liping Tang, Liping Yan, Dong Zhang

“…The phylogenetic analyses based on 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs) and 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes provide strong support for monophyly of the Muscidae, confirming divergence of Coenosiinae from the related subfamilies (Azeliinae and Mydaeinae).…”

Mitochondrial genomes provide new insights into the phylogeny and evolution of Anthomyiidae (Insecta: Diptera) by He-Nan Li, Wen-Ya Pei, Ming-Fu Wang, Bang-Qing Chen, Hong-Lin Peng, Rong-Jun Cao, Ming-Teng Zhao, Jun Yang, Xiao-Chen Zhang, Dong Zhang

“…Our results indicate that Anthomyiidae is a monophyletic lineage and sister group to Scathophagidae, confirming prior findings based on morphological and molecular analyses. We recovered two subfamilies as monophyletic (Myopininae, Pegomyinae) while Anthomyiinae was polyphyletic. …”

<i>PpSAUR43</i>, an Auxin-Responsive Gene, Is Involved in the Post-Ripening and Softening of Peaches by Jiahui Wang, Weijing Su, Kun Liu, Ze Xu, Kamran Shah, Juanjuan Ma, Dong Zhang, Yanan Hu, Caiping Zhao

“…Herein, we identified 72 <i>PpSAUR</i> auxin-responsive factors in the peach genome and divided them into eight subfamilies based on phylogenetic analysis. Subsequently, the members related to peach post-ripening in the <i>PpSAUR</i> gene family were screened, and we targeted <i>PpSAUR43</i>. …”
