Blowfly-derived mammal DNA as mammal diversity assessment tool: Determination of dispersal activity and flight range of tropical blowflies [PDF]
Biodiversity Data Journal, 2023 Mammalian DNA extracted from the invertebrates, especially blowfly-derived DNA, has been suggested as a useful tool to complement traditional field methods for terrestrial mammal monitoring.

Blowflies are potential vector for avian influenza virus at enzootic area in Japan [PDF]
Scientific ReportsHigh pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) poses a significant threat to both domestic and wild birds globally. The avian influenza virus, known for environmental contamination and subsequent oral infection in birds, necessitates careful consideration of ...

Drivers and consequences of nest ectoparasite pressure in tit nestlings [PDF]
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and WildlifeEctoparasites impose significant costs to their hosts and modulate their life-history traits. We evaluated the prevalence and abundance of louse flies, blowflies, fleas and mites in great tits (Parus major) and blue tits (Cyanistes caeruleus) breeding in

Monophyletic blowflies revealed by phylogenomics [PDF]
BMC Biology, 2021 Background Blowflies are ubiquitous insects, often shiny and metallic, and the larvae of many species provide important ecosystem services (e.g., recycling carrion) and are used in forensics and debridement therapy.

Origins and Diversification of Myiasis Across Blowflies [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionParasitism represents a prevalent and successful ecological strategy that has evolved independently numerous times across metazoa. Understanding the origin and diversification of parasitism is a central question in evolutionary biology.

Stochastic patch structure Nicholson’s blowflies system with mixed delays
Advances in Difference Equations, 2020 This paper is devoted to studying a stochastic patch structure Nicholson’s blowflies system with mixed delays which is a new model for the generalization of classic Nicholson’s blowflies system.

Temperature stress induces mites to help their carrion beetle hosts by eliminating rival blowflies
eLife, 2020 Ecological conditions are known to change the expression of mutualisms though the causal agents driving such changes remain poorly understood. Here we show that temperature stress modulates the harm threatened by a common enemy, and thereby induces a ...
