Morpho and cryptic species of the Tabanidae in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Haddow A. 2016. Morpho and cryptic species of the Tabanidae in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park
PI conducted an intensive, season-long trapping in the park horse and deer flies (tabanidae) to determine their seasonality, distribution, population dynamics, and diversity. Specimens were analyzed molecularly to identify the presence of cryptic species. Three quarters of the park’s tabanid species diversity resides in the large genera Chrysops (18 spp.) and Tabanus (25 spp.). Of the 56 species listed above, 19 had not been previously reported in the park and many county records were also identified.
