| Title: | Do long branches attract flies? |
| Abstract: | Strepsiptera and Diptera group together in phylogenetic analysis as an artefact resulting from the high substitution rates in their 18S rDNA sequences. The grouping is an excellent example of long-branch attraction resulting from the violation of the molecular clock for this gene. |
