Calliphoridae: Cladogram Based On Morphological Characters

Keywords : Cladogram, Calliphorids, Apomorphic, Pleisomorphic


Abstract

DNA studies are nowadays predominant in phylogenetics. But morphological approach is still the most widely accepted approach among the taxonomists. In the present study, the author has for the first time tried to construct a cladogram among the calliphorid species based on morphological traits which further stilted the molecular analysis. This analysis was validated through mtDNA studies. Till date, little comprehensive morphologial and molecular analysis has been conducted for calliphorids of India.
