Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1996 An indirect estimate of consumable food and probability of acquiring food in a blowfly species, Chrysomya putoria, is presented. This alternative procedure combines three distinct models to estimate consumable food in the context of the exploitative ...

Collision-avoidance and landing responses are mediated by separate pathways in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
, 2002 Flies rely heavily on visual feedback for several aspects of flight control. As a fly approaches an object, the image projected across its retina expands, providing the fly with visual feedback that can be used either to trigger a collision-avoidance ...

TaxonomyMembers of the blowfly family (Calliphoridae) are usually the first insect species to arrive at a corpse, using the body as an oviposition site, and, as such, they are the most important group of insects used to estimate the post-mortem interval (PMI ...

Sheep blowfly strike: the cost of control in relation to risk
Animal, 2019 Sheep blowfly strike (ovine cutaneous myiasis) is a widespread economic and welfare problem in sheep husbandry in many parts of the world. Strike incidence is determined by a complex interaction of fly abundance, host susceptibility and climate, combined

Modulation of Negative Work Output from a Steering Muscle of the Blowfly Calliphora Vicina [PDF]
, 1994 Of the 17 muscles responsible for flight control in flies, only the first basalar muscle (b1) is known to fire an action potential each and every wing beat at a precise phase of the wing-beat period.

Comparison of Encoding Properties of Campaniform Sensilla on the Fly Wing [PDF]
, 1990 The wing blade of the blowfly Calliphora vomitoria (L.) carries an array of campaniform sensilla which have previously been divided into slowly and rapidly adapting classes based on their responses to step indentations.

A comparison of visual and haltere-mediated equilibrium reflexes in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
, 2003 Flies exhibit extraordinary maneuverability, relying on feedback from multiple sensory organs to control flight. Both the compound eyes and the mechanosensory halteres encode angular motion as the fly rotates about the three body axes during flight ...

Neutral delay equations from and for population dynamics
Electronic Journal of Qualitative Theory of Differential Equations, 2008 For a certain class of neutral differential equations it is shown that these equations can serve as population models in the sense that they can be interpreted as special cases or caricatures of the standard Gurtin-MacCamy model for a population ...
