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. This data resource is harvested periodically into the main occurrence index.

夏威夷果蝇科（Hawaiian Drosophilidae）的演化历程堪称一段令人赞叹的传奇。目前已正式记述的该科果蝇物种超过600种，另有数百种待发现且尚未被正式记述，夏威夷已然成为该类蝇科昆虫的全球生物多样性热点区域。其单位面积内的果蝇科物种密度位居全球之首。更令人惊叹的是，所有这些物种或许均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，该类群经历了著名的适应性辐射演化：不同类群的果蝇逐步演化以占据不同岛屿上的孤立生态位，最终造就了今日所见的数百个物种。在生态与行为层面兼具多样性的夏威夷果蝇科昆虫，无疑是UHIM馆藏以及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果蝇物种，正栖息于夏威夷雨林中的孤立林木之上！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，待验证项为0。该数据集资源会定期同步至全球生物出现记录主索引库。
