“…2 and 3). This result is in agreement with that obtained by McPheron and Han (1997) and strengthens their idea that the previously unplaced R. fausta belongs within the combined R. pomonella and R. tabellaria species groups. In general, resolution within both the R. pomonella and R. tabellaria species groups was quite good (Figs.…”

“…Phylogenies derived from analysis of the mitochondrial COII data are consistent with the observations of several workers suggesting that the genus Rhagoletis as currently defined is not monophyletic (Norrbom, 1989;Foote et al, 1993;McPheron and Han, 1997). Constraining the parsimony analysis (equal weighting) to force Rhagoletis to be a monophyletic group required 7 additional steps (tree length 866 vs 859).…”

“…Also, analysis of nuclear ribosomal ITS sequences placed R. suavis as a sister taxon to the R. cingulata species group (Ming, 1995). However, this proposed sister group relationship conflicts with the allozyme phylogeny of Berlocher and Bush (1982), and the analysis of mitochondrial ribosomal DNA in the accompanying paper by McPheron and Han (1997), which suggests that the R. suavis group is a sister group to the remainder of the North American Rhagoletis. When analyzed on the basis of the COII data, making the R. suavis group a sister group to the other four North American species groups resulted in trees that were 6 steps longer than the equal weighting trees (treelength 865 vs 859).…”

“…DNA sequences are needed to gain additional insight into the evolution of the pomonella group. Mitochondrial sequences are very similar (McPheron and Han 1997;Smith andBush 1997, 1999;Feder et al 1999), indicating that future progress will come from sequences of nuclear genes. Just as important as a better supported phylogeny, however, is more extensive geographic sampling of North American.…”

Abstract. The Rhagoletis pomonella species group has for decades been a focal point for debate over the possibility of sympatric speciation via host shift. Here I present the first extensive analysis of genetic (allozyme) divergence in the pomonella group, including all known taxa/populations except the allopatric Mexican population of R. pomonella. The phylogeny is estimated for all four described species (pomonella, mendax, zephyria, and cornivora) plus two undescribed species (the ''flowering dogwood fly'' and ''sparkleberry fly''). Allozyme data for two additional populations of uncertain status (the ''plum fly'' and ''mayhaw fly'') are presented for the first time. Two data sets were analyzed, one for 17 loci from 77 populations and one for an additional 12 loci for a subset of 12 of these populations, with more than 4000 flies analyzed in total. Interspecific Nei unbiased genetic distances were generally small, being as low as 0.040. No fixed autapomorphic alleles beyond those already known for R. cornivora and R. zephyria were revealed in the new data, but several loci displaying frequency patterns useful in discriminating the species were discovered. The phylogenetic placement of the flowering dogwood fly differed depending on whether a molecular clock was assumed (UPGMA of Nei distance) or not assumed (frequency parsimony) for tree building. Other than this, however, trees under either assumption were essentially identical. The best tree was used to test the prediction of the sympatric speciation hypothesis that sister taxa should be broadly sympatric. This prediction was not rejected, but the best tree was weakly supported by bootstrap analysis. An unexpected finding was that R. pomonella populations representing ends of its strong latitudinal clines did not cluster together. One possible explanation is that the current R. pomonella is the result of a genetic fusion of two previously isolated, genetically differentiated populations. Such a fusion prior to the origin of the other species in the group could contribute to the poor resolution of the phylogeny.

“…Our study also suggests that Zonosemata, Haywardina, and Cryptodacus form a monophyletic group, although relationships among this group, Rhagoletotrypeta, and R. striatella are not well resolved. Further discussion of the molecular systematics of Rhagoletis and related genera can be found in two companion papers (McPheron and Han, 1997;Smith and Bush, 1997).…”
