Flies, Phylogeny and Islands - Evolution and Diversity of Hawaiian Drosophilia

We bring together all the historical information on Hawaiian Drosophilidae in a single reference with a useful summary of where Hawaiian Drosophila research resides and how work on this impressive radiation has molded the field of evolutionary biology. It's in the context of broader areas of inquiry, including island biogeography, population genetics, and genomics.

List of contents

Introduction. Morphology and Taxonomy. Phylogenetic Relationships. Ecological Associations. Island Biogeography. Population Genetics. Founder Effect Speciation. Genomics.
