Drosophilidae Leaf Breeders - Spoonfoot V

The story of the Hawaiian Drosophilidae is an impressive one indeed. With more than 600 described Drosophilid species and hundreds more thought to exist but not yet decribed, Hawaii is a global diversity hotspot for this family of flies. There are more drosophilid species per unit area found here than anywhere else on earth. What's more impressive is that they may have all originated from a single ancestor that was likely blown to the islands hundreds of thousands of years ago. Once here, the group experienced what is known as adaptive radiation, with groups of flies evolving to fill isolated niches on different islands, generating the hundreds of species we see today. Ecologically and behaviorally diverse, the drosophilids of Hawaii are certainly a defining insect group for the UHIM collection and the history of Hawaiian entomology. The flies we need your help transcribing here today find themselves living in isolated trees within the Hawaiian rainforest! Please assist the UHIM with the transcription of this unique assemblage of Hawaiian Diptera. The total number of tasks for this dataset is: 464, number transcribed is 464 and number validated is 0.夏威夷果蝇科（Drosophilidae）的演化故事着实令人赞叹。目前已正式记述的果蝇科物种逾600种，另有数百种被推测存在但尚未被记述，夏威夷已然成为该蝇类家族的全球生物多样性热点区域。这里单位面积内的果蝇科物种数量位居全球之首。更令人称奇的是，这些物种或许全都起源于数十万年前被气流携带至该群岛的单一祖先类群。抵达群岛后，该类群经历了经典的适应辐射（adaptive radiation）：不同类群的蝇类逐步演化出特化形态，占据各岛屿上的孤立生态位，最终造就了今日所见的数百个物种。夏威夷果蝇科在生态与行为层面均展现出丰富多样性，无疑是夏威夷大学昆虫博物馆（University of Hawaii Insect Museum，简称UHIM）藏品与夏威夷昆虫学史中极具代表性的昆虫类群。本次需要您协助转录的蝇类，正栖息于夏威夷雨林中的孤立林木间。诚邀您协助UHIM完成这一独特夏威夷双翅目（Diptera）类群的转录工作。本数据集的总任务量为464项，已完成转录464项，待验证0项。
