Reliability of wing morphometrics for species identification of human-biting black flies (Diptera: Simuliidae) in Thailand

Reliability of wing morphometrics for species identification of human-biting black flies (Diptera: Simuliidae) in Thailand

Abstract Background Fast and reliable species identification of black flies is essential for research proposes and effective vector control. Besides traditional identification based on morphology, which is usually supplemented with molecular methods, geometric morphometrics (GM) has emerged as a pro...
