			The Evolutionary Biology of Flies Edited by David. K. Yeates and Brian M. Wiegmann "Flies have been at the heart of profound biological discovery. They are structurally and ecologically more diverse than all other orders of insects; they are paradigm organisms in genetics and physiology; they are the most effective vectors of diseases; and they have been the focus of revolutionary thinkers like Willi Hennig. This book integrates for the first time the remarkable biology of flies and brings the study of these insects to a new level. " — David Grimaldi, American Museum of Natural History, author of Evolution of Insects "By so smoothly covering every aspect of the evolutionary biology of flies, this book certainly lives up to its title." — Donald A. Windsor, Science Books & Films
