Phylogenomic Analysis Reveals Evolutionary Relationships of Tropical Drosophilidae: From to .

Species radiation in the family Drosophilidae has led to a diversity of species occupying a wide range of ecological niches. Despite the high diversity within this family, with over thousands of species and more than a hundred species recorded in Thailand and the Malay Peninsula, taxonomic classifications remain complicated due to morphological plasticity and inconsistent phylogenetic reconstructions based on limited genetic data. In this study, we assemble new mitochondrial genomes from and species collected in Thailand, expanding the genomic resources for these underexplored tropical regions.
