9707869 KAMBYSELLIS Fruit flies (family Drosophilidae) have been used for more than a century as model systems to explore major issues in biological and environmental sciences. The Hawaiian Drosophilidae, an assemblage of about a thousand species, represent the premier example of founder-effect speciation and adaptive radiation on oceanic islands, but except for the picture-winged cluster of about 100 species, their taxonomy and systematics are poorly known. In this collaborative project, the systematic biology of the Hawaiian drosophilids will be reviewed, and a robust phylogeny reconstructed. The work will include field collections, descriptions of species, establishment of cultures, and collections of morphological, molecular and behavioral characters for phylogenetic analysis. The resulting analysis is expected to be definitive, and to support future analyses of developmental and behavioral pathways in these flies.

小行星9707869 果蝇（果蝇科）已被用于超过世纪的模式系统，以探讨在生物和环境科学的重大问题。 夏威夷果蝇科（Hawaiian Drosophilidae）约有1000个物种，是海洋岛屿上发现者效应物种形成和适应性辐射的最好例子，但除了约100个物种的图片翅膀集群外，它们的分类和系统学知之甚少。 在这个合作项目中，将审查夏威夷果蝇的系统生物学，并重建一个强大的果蝇发生。 这项工作将包括野外采集、物种描述、培养物的建立以及用于系统发育分析的形态、分子和行为特征的收集。 由此产生的分析预计是明确的，并支持未来的分析，在这些苍蝇的发展和行为途径。
