Nature, 1930 THE proboscis of the blowfly has been so often figured and described that students generally have no difficulty in understanding its structure and mode of working. There is, however, one small ambiguity that beginners are liable to find somewhat perplexing, especially when only balsam preparations are used, namely, the use of the word mouth to describe

Recovery of male DNA acquired from carrion‐feeding insects in a simulated sexual assault scenario
Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract When bodies of sexual assault victims are discovered in advanced stages of decomposition, the recovery of direct DNA evidence is often compromised, posing a challenge in criminal investigations. This study aimed to determine insect colonization and succession patterns on pig carcasses inoculated with semen and to assess the feasibility of ...

Dynamical Systems, Stability, and Chaos
, 2007 In this expository and resources chapter we review selected aspects of the mathematics of dynamical systems, stability, and chaos, within a historical framework that draws together two threads of its early development: celestial mechanics and control ...

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

Ecological and social factors lead to variation in parental care between sexes in a burying beetle
Insect Science, EarlyView.We experimentally investigated the effects of ecological (resource availability and interspecific competition) and social factors (intraspecific competition) on parental care and reproductive success in the burying beetle Nicrophorus vespilloides. Our results showed that males and females adjust their parental care based on resource availability and ...

Insects and Survival: A Review of Primary and Secondary Defense Strategies
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.Based on a review of three decades of literature, insect defense mechanisms are classified into primary (I) and secondary (II) mechanisms of behavioral, morphological, and chemical nature. These mechanisms have been recorded in 22 (I) and 20 (II) orders, respectively.

Stability of positive equilibrium of a Nicholson blowflies model with stochastic perturbations
Electronic Journal of Qualitative Theory of Differential Equations, 2020 This paper is concerned with the stability problem of the positive equilibrium of a Nicholson's blowflies model with nonlinear density-dependent mortality rate subject to stochastic perturbations.

Some Applications of Bifurcation Formulae to the Period Maps of Delay Differential Equations [PDF]
, 2005 Our purpose is to present some applications of the bifurcation formulae derived in [13] for periodic delay differential equations. We prove that a sequence of Neimark-Sacker bifurcations occurs as the parameter increases.
