“…Features of adults, pupae and larvae become congruent at certain nodes when apomorphic and plesiomorphic features are distinguished. Subsequent morphologically-based work largely supported Hennig's conclusions, although there was significant further resolution and obviously plenty of questions remaining for further study (e.g., Borkent, 2012;Buck, 2006;Courtney, 1990Courtney, , 1991Courtney, , 1994aCumming et al, 1995;McAlpine, 1989;Michelsen, 1996;Oosterbroek & Courtney, 1995;Pape, 1992;Sinclair, 1992;Sinclair & Cumming, 2006;Sinclair et al, 1994Sinclair et al, , 2007Starý, 2008;Wood & Borkent, 1989;Woodley, 1989;Yeates, 2002). Wiegmann et al (2011) and Lambkin et al (2013) recently published partially complementary results of a sixyear (2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009) cooperative effort between 17 different laboratories studying Diptera phylogeny and supported by an NSF grant of $2.4 million (US).…”
