Monophyly, divergence times, and evolution of host plant use inferred from a revised phylogeny of the Drosophila repleta species group.

We present a revised molecular phylogeny of the Drosophila repleta group including 62 repleta group taxa and nine outgroup species based on four mitochondrial and six nuclear DNA sequence fragments. With ca. 100 species endemic to the New World, the repleta species group represents one of the major species radiations in the genus Drosophila.
