The structure of feeding behavior in a phytophagous insect (Hylobius abietis) [PDF]
Analysis of the feeding behavior of animals using such a high temporal resolution that meals can be defined may improve our understanding of the mechanisms regulating feeding. Meals can be distinguished in an ethologically meaningful manner by using the ‘

Dieldrin resistance in Lucilia cuprina (the Australian sheep blowfly): chance, selection and response [PDF]
Discrete-generation population cages of Lucilia cuprina were initiated with dieldrin-resistant allele (Rdl ) frequencies of 1 or 5% and maintained for 17 generations on media with concentrations of dieldrin in the range 0-0.006% (w/v). The probability of the initial establishment of the Rdl allele in a population was consistently greater at the 5 ...

DIFFERENCE EQUATION FOR AUSTRALIAN SHEEP BLOWFLIES GROWTH
The population of Australian sheep blowflies, Lucilia cuprina, in Australia is of concern to many researchers because it causes several problems. These problems occur in the sheep industry where there is a term "flystrike" in the industry. Flystrike is a fly attack on sheep that causes myiasis on the sheep's skin, affecting the quality and quantity of ...
