Non-destructive species identification of Drosophila obscura and D. subobscura (Diptera) using near-infrared spectroscopy

The vinegar flies Drosophila subobscura and D. obscura frequently serve as study organisms for evolutionary biology. Their high morphological similarity renders traditional species determination difficult, especially when living specimens for setting up laboratory populations need to be identified....
