There has been a lot of discussion as to whether or not molecular clocks
are reliable. A major part of the problem seems to rest with what molecule
you use. Last year Jamie Stevens drew attention (Trends Parasitol 18,479)
to a paper by Gaunt and Miles (Gaunt MW, Miles MA. 2002. Mol.Biol.Evol.19,
748-761) that suggests that a reliable global clock for insects
is cytochrome oxidase I. It will be interesting to see this applied to
sand flies.
