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.

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 ...

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.

A preliminary investigation of the entomofauna composition of forensically important necrophagous insects in Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah region, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

Journal of Taibah University for Science, 2020
The key role in forensic entomology is the study of entomofauna composition through species identification, succession, colonization, and developmental rate.

Blowflies as vectors of Bacillus anthracis in the Kruger National Park

Koedoe: African Protected Area Conservation and Science, 2018
Anthrax, caused by Bacillus anthracis, is endemic in the Kruger National Park (KNP). The epidemiology of B. anthracis is dependent on various factors including vectors.

Stabilizing gaze in flying blowflies [PDF]

Nature, 1998
When the gaze is moved quickly, vision becomes blurred and the way in which three-dimensional structures are seen can be affected1. How can these effects be minimized? During flight, blowflies (Calliphora vicina) turn both the head and the thorax very quickly, producing gaze shifts which affect vision.

Cold storage effects on immature calliphoridae: Survival limits and forensic consequences for PMI estimation

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigated the effects of continuous refrigeration (4°C ± 2°C and 50% ± 5% RH) on the development and survival of immature stages (eggs, first, second, and third instar larvae, and pupae) of four forensically important blowfly species (Chrysomya megacephala, Chrysomya putoria, Hemilucilia segmentaria, and Lucilia cuprina) compared

Species-specific flight styles of flies are reflected in the response dynamics of a homologue motion sensitive neuron

Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2012
Hoverflies and blowflies have distinctly different flight styles. Yet, both species have been shown to structure their flight behaviour in a way that facilitates extraction of 3D information from the image flow on the retina (optic flow).
