FLUORESCENCE SPECTRA OF BLOWFLY METAXANTHOPSINS [PDF]

Photochemistry and Photobiology, 1990
Abstract— The main visual pigment of blowflies (xanthopsin, Vogt, 1983 Z. Naturforsch.38c,329–333) photoconverts into two thermostable metaxanthopsin states M and M'(e.g. Stavenga et al., 1984 Photochem. Photobiol.40,653–659). The fluorescence spectra of the two photoproducts were studied by microspectrofluorometry in vivo.

Chitosan and Essential Oils Combined for Beef Meat Protection against the Oviposition of Calliphora vomitoria, Water Loss, Lipid Peroxidation, and Colour Changes

Foods, 2022
Meat production has a higher economic and ecological impact than other commodities. The reduction in meat loss and waste throughout the whole supply chain is a demanding challenge.

Asymptotic behaviour for a class of non-monotone delay differential systems with applications [PDF]

, 2017
The paper concerns a class of $n$-dimensional non-autonomous delay differential equations obtained by adding a non-monotone delayed perturbation to a linear homogeneous cooperative system of ordinary differential equations.

Fluorescence of blowfly metarhodopsin [PDF]

Biophysics of Structure and Mechanism, 1983
The visual pigment of blowfly peripheral photoreceptors displays a marked red fluorescence when the pigment is in the metarhodopsin state as demonstrated in vivo by simultaneous measurements of transmission and fluorescence. The rhodopsin state is non-fluorescent.

Global asymptotic stability for a nonlinear density-dependent mortality Nicholson’s blowflies system involving multiple pairs of time-varying delays

Advances in Difference Equations, 2020
In our article, a nonlinear density-dependent mortality Nicholson’s blowflies system with patch structure has been investigated, in which the delays are time-varying and multiple pairs.

In Vivo Time- Resolved Microtomography Reveals the Mechanics of the Blowfly Flight Motor [PDF]

, 2014
Dipteran flies are amongst the smallest and most agile of flying animals. Their wings are driven indirectly by large power muscles, which cause cyclical deformations of the thorax that are amplified through the intricate wing hinge.

Larval predation on different instars in blowfly populations

Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2004
During its larval stage, Chrysomya albiceps (Diptera: Calliphoridae) is a facultative predator on other blowflies. In this study, we evaluated the predation by third instar larvae of C.

Characterization and Comparative Analysis of Mitochondrial Genomes Among the Calliphoridae (Insecta: Diptera: Oestroidea) and Phylogenetic Implications

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
The Calliphoridae (blowflies) are significant for forensic science, veterinary management, medical science, and economic issues. However, the phylogenetic relationships within this family are poorly understood and controversial, and the status of the ...
