Long‐term variation in environmental conditions influences host–parasite fitness
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Long‐term data on host and parasite fitness are important for predicting how host–parasite interactions will be altered in an era of global change. Here, we use data collected from 1997 to 2013 to explore effects of changing environmental conditions on ...

The Role of Olfaction in Orientation of Blowflies to Hosts or Odorous Baited Traps
Scientific Papers Animal Science and Biotechnologies, 2023 Traumatic myiasis is a serious threat for worldwide sheep flocks. It is known that the blowflies’ abundance and occurrence of strikes could be diminished by traps use. The aim of this study was to ascertain the role of olfaction in blowflies’ orientation

New findings on exponential convergence of a Nicholson’s blowflies model with proportional delay
Advances in Difference Equations, 2019 We deal with Nicholson’s blowflies model with proportional delays. Employing the differential inequality theory, we give a new sufficient condition that guarantees the exponential convergence of all solutions of Nicholson’s blowflies model with ...

Time Spent by Calliphora Spp. Blowflies on Standard Traps Baited with Liver and Ammonia
Scientific Papers Animal Science and Biotechnologies, 2023 The larvae of blowflies from the Calliphoridae family cause fly strikes in sheep and other species of economic importance. Impaired wool, decrease of ewe fertility, and even death can occur in heavy infestations.

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.

Hypotheses for the Adaptive Maintenance of Phenotypic Polymorphisms. [PDF]
Ecol EvolPhenotypic polymorphisms offer easily observable diversity ideal for empirical and theoretical exploration, but developing and comparing hypotheses for the adaptive maintenance of polymorphism can be a challenge. Here, we propose a framework categorizing polymorphisms based on (i) one of five distinct types of maintenance selection and (ii) the context
