Alternative hypotheses for the ancestor-descendant relationships among the orders of the winged insects will be tested using 18s ribosomal RNA analysis. Mapping, sequencing and development of a gene library using six species representing several orders will provide data for cladisitc analysis. The proposed research will be an independent test of insect relationships formerly interpreted using only morphology, thereby clarifying a long-standing and important evolutionary question. The research will also contribute to the growing database in molecular systematics.

飞虫目之间祖先-后代关系的替代假设将使用 18s 核糖体 RNA 分析进行测试。 使用代表多个目的的六个物种的基因库的绘图、测序和开发将为分支分析提供数据。 拟议的研究将是对以前仅使用形态学解释的昆虫关系的独立测试，从而澄清一个长期存在且重要的进化问题。 该研究还将为不断增长的分子系统学数据库做出贡献。
