 | | Drosophilidae are similar in structure to other flies in that adults have three main body parts: a head, thorax, and abdomen. | | | The Hawaiian Drosophilidae have also developed and adapted ecologically to a tremendous diversity of ecosystems ranging from desert-like habitats where the soil is powdery dry, to rain forests with lush, tree-fern jungles, and in swampland perpetually shadowed by rain clouds and with vegetation burdened with dripping, moss-laden branches. | | | While the larval stages of most species are saprophytic (feeding on decaying vegetation, such as rotting leaves, bark, flowers, and fruits), some have become highly specialized, being carnivorous on egg masses of spiders, or feeding on green algae growing underwater on boulders in streams. |

| | Drosophila melanogaster, also called vinegar fly, is a much used laboratory insect; its 10-day life cycle and large chromosomes, particularly those of the salivary glands of the larva, have made it invaluable in the study of genetics. | | | All fruit flies are very small insects that lay their eggs in various plant tissues. | | | Some species, e.g., the goldenrod gall fly, Eurosta solidaginis, which deposits its eggs in species of goldenrod, lay their eggs in plants of no economic importance. |

| | Picture-wings are part of the Hawaiian Drosophilidae family, widely considered the most remarkable and intensively studied group of the state's nearly 10,000 native insect species. | | | Protecting the picture-wing species, and the rest of the Drosophilidae family, by preserving and restoring its natural habitat and eliminating invasive alien species is vital. | | | Although the Drosophilidae family may be represented by more than 1,000 species, some of those individuals' numbers are falling. |

| | A/O Diptera Catalog -- Drosophilidae |
| | As early as 1958, E.C. Zimmerman stated that there might be as many as 300 species of Drosophilidae in Hawaii (an area smaller than the state of Massachusetts or less than one-fifth the size of Ireland). | | | Among the vast areas of the regions covered here, the Hawaiian Islands are the most remarkable in species diversification: 535 species in 9 genera are recorded from there, and more than 1,000 species are thought to exist. | | | Adults of most species of Drosophilidae are attracted to and feed upon a great variety of fermenting substances, hence the common name, vinegar, pomace, or fruit flies (the latter not to be confused with the true fruit flies of the family Tephritidae). |

| | The genus Drosophila has been and is such a classic model system that a well-supported phylogeny of this group will have broad utility to other researchers addressing questions of reproductive biology, development, ecology, biogeography, genetic history, etc.. | | | Support for the training of graduate students in modern systematic and population biology methodologies is important for maintaining the workforce of scientists capable of addressing the questions and issues of biodiversity which are of increasing global concern. | | | This project hopes to correct that situation and to use the two molecular data sets obtained to address analytical issues such as quantifying levels of congruence among competing hypotheses/phylogenies and whether combined evidence or separate analyses are of greater utility. |
