Larvicidal Activity of Inhibitors of DOPA Decarboxylase on the Australian Sheep Blowfly, Lucilia Cuprina [PDF]
Australian Journal of Biological Sciences, 1980 Inhibitors of DOPA decarboxylase, the key enzyme in the formation of the sclerotizing agent (N-acetyl dopamine) of the blowfly cuticle, have been tested for larvicidal activity against L. cuprina. A significant level of DOPA decarboxylase activity has been shown to be present throughout larval life in this species. Four potent in vitro inhibitors of L.

Silver gull carcasses host unique carrion insect communities on a nearshore island
Austral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 3, August 2025.Abstract Island ecosystems offer unique opportunities to study the dynamics of species that rely on ephemeral resources such as carrion. This study investigated the necrophagous insect communities associated with carrion of silver gulls (Chroicocephalus novaehollandiae) on a small nearshore island off the east coast of Australia, to assess how ...

Field Studies on Insecticide Resistance in the Australian Sheep Blowfly, Lucilia Cuprina [PDF]
Australian Journal of Biological Sciences, 1980 Eggs and larvae of L. cuprina were coIJected from natural fly strikes in a flock of Merino ewes in which sheep had been either treated with the insecticide dieldrin or left as controls. An analysis of gene and genotype frequencies of Rdl locus, which determines resistance to dieldrin, provides support for the existence of strong selection operating ...

Controlling Ectoparasites on Welsh Organic Sheep Farms [PDF]
, 2003 1. Organophosphate (OP) based dips offer a broad spectrum control against all major ectoparasites in the UK. However, there is continuing controversy over the safety to dip operators and the environment. The use of OPs is prohibited by organic standards,

Compensatory ingestion upon dietary restriction in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
, 2005 Dietary restriction extends the lifespan of numerous, evolutionarily diverse species. In D. melanogaster, a prominent model for research on the interaction between nutrition and longevity, dietary restriction is typically based on medium dilution, with ...

Carrion‐breeding flies of Australia and New Zealand: A review and key to adults
Austral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 2, May 2025.Abstract Carrion‐breeding flies are diverse with over 70 species in the Australasian/Oceanian region, predominantly from the families Calliphoridae and Sarcophagidae. These flies play crucial roles in ecosystems as primary decomposers, pollinators and food sources for a variety of predators and parasites.

Inbreeding in the coffee berry borer, Hypothenemus hampei (Coleoptera : Scolytidae) estimated from endosulfan resistance phenotype frequencies [PDF]
, 1996 An estimate of the inbreeding coefficient, Fis, of the coffee berry borer, #Hypothenemus hampei$ Ferrari, was calculated from genotype frequencies of endosulfan resistance in beetles collected from berries in 41 fields on the East Coast of New Caledonia.

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 41, Issue 2, April 2025.Abstract The endangered Australian sea lion (Neophoca cinerea) population is declining, and its conservation is threatened by the species' low fecundity and high pup mortality. This study details reasons for pup deaths and quantifies the impacts of disease and comorbidity. Of 284 dead pups reported from five breeding seasons (2016–2022) at the Seal Bay
