The ephemeral resource patch concept

Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 3, Page 697-726, June 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT Ephemeral resource patches (ERPs) – short lived resources including dung, carrion, temporary pools, rotting vegetation, decaying wood, and fungi – are found throughout every ecosystem. Their short‐lived dynamics greatly enhance ecosystem heterogeneity and have shaped the evolutionary trajectories of a wide range of organisms – from bacteria to

The global prevalence of parasites in non-biting flies as vectors: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Parasites & Vectors, 2023
Background Non-biting flies such as the house fly (Musca domestica), the Australian sheep blowfly (Lucilia cuprina) and the oriental latrine fly (Chrysomya megacephala) may carry many parasites. In the present study, we performed a systematic overview of

Climatic and biotic influences on the distributions of Calliphora augur and Calliphora dubia (Diptera: Calliphoridae)

Austral Entomology, Volume 61, Issue 3, Page 370-377, August 2022., 2022
Abstract Calliphora augur (Fabricius) and Calliphora dubia (Macquart) are two widespread and endemic Australian blowflies of applied importance. In order to better understand the biology of these species, this study used historical, field and laboratory data to determine and interpret their distributions.

Histone deacetylase enzymes as drug targets for the control of the sheep blowfly, Lucilia cuprina

International Journal for Parasitology: Drugs and Drug Resistance, 2015
The Australian sheep blowfly, Lucilia cuprina, is an ecto-parasite that causes significant economic losses in the sheep industry. Emerging resistance to insecticides used to protect sheep from this parasite is driving the search for new drugs that act ...

A high‐quality functional genome assembly of Delia radicum L. (Diptera: Anthomyiidae) annotated from egg to adult

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 22, Issue 5, Page 1954-1971, July 2022., 2022
Abstract Belowground herbivores are overseen and underestimated, even though they can cause significant economic losses in agriculture. The cabbage root fly Delia radicum (Anthomyiidae) is a common pest in Brassica species, including agriculturally important crops, such as oilseed rape. The damage is caused by the larvae, which feed specifically on the

Insecticidal activities of histone deacetylase inhibitors against a dipteran parasite of sheep, Lucilia cuprina

International Journal for Parasitology: Drugs and Drug Resistance, 2017
Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) are being investigated for the control of various human parasites. Here we investigate their potential as insecticides for the control of a major ecto-parasite of sheep, the Australian sheep blowfly, Lucilia cuprina.

Isolation of two insecticidal toxins from venom of the Australian theraphosid spider Coremiocnemis tropix [PDF]

, 2016
© 2016 Elsevier Ltd Sheep flystrike is caused by parasitic flies laying eggs on soiled wool or open wounds, after which the hatched maggots feed on the sheep flesh and often cause large lesions.

Dynamics in a Nonautonomous Nicholson‐Type Delay System

Journal of Mathematics, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
A kind of Nicholson‐type delay system is considered. Several conditions on the ultimate boundedness, extinction, permanence, periodic solution, and global attractivity of the system are established by employing the inequality techniques and comparison method and constructing suitable Lyapunov functional.

Periodic Oscillating Dynamics for a Delayed Nicholson‐Type Model with Harvesting Terms

Mathematical Problems in Engineering, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
In this manuscript, a delayed Nicholson‐type model with linear harvesting terms is investigated. Applying coincidence degree theory, we establish a sufficient condition which guarantees the existence of positive periodic solutions for the delayed Nicholson‐type model.

Recent African derivation of Chrysomya putoria from C. chloropyga and mitochondrial DNA paraphyly of cytochrome oxidase subunit one in blowflies of forensic importance [PDF]

, 2004
Chrysomya chloropyga (Wiedemann) and C. putoria (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) are closely related Afrotropical blowflies that breed in carrion and latrines, reaching high density in association with humans and spreading to other continents.
