Simplified evolutionary trees showing the phylogenetic relationships of the species addressed in this study. Abbreviations used in the text are in parentheses. (A) Evolutionary relationships of the Drosophilidae species studied. Tree structure and estimated divergence times are from Russo and Takezaki [14]. (B) Simplified insect evolutionary tree. In accord with recent works [17,18] the Hymenoptera are basal to the Coleoptera in the Endopterygota. (C) Global evolutionary tree showing the early divergence of cnidarians and Bilateria.
