Cuticular lipids of adults and puparia of the Australian sheep blowfly Lucilia cuprina (Wied.)

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1970
The presence of a strong contact component in the sex and ovipositing behavior of the sheep blowfly Lucilia cuprina Wied. prompted an investigation into the chemical composition of the cuticular wax of the adult male and female flies as well as that of ...

Evaluation of the efficacy of novel, meat-free and easily sterilisable artificial diet for mass rearing of Lucilia sericata (Diptera: Calliphoridae) larvae for medical applications

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology
Medically significant Lucilia sericata larvae lack a standardised, reproducible, animal tissue-free, and sterilisable diet for rearing. In this study, we developed and evaluated a diet made from dried milk, protein powder, cholesterol, amino acids, and ...

Habitat and seasonal effects on blowfly ecology in possum carcasses in the Manawatu : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment for the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Ecology at Massey University [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
Flies were trapped on Keeble farm and in Keeble forest reserve between May 1992 to February 1993. Fewer Calliphoridae were trapped in pasture during summer than in autumn or winter and different fly species showed differing preferences for bush or ...

Hamiltonian ABC

open access: yes, 2015
Approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) is a powerful and elegant framework for performing inference in simulation-based models. However, due to the difficulty in scaling likelihood estimates, ABC remains useful for relatively low-dimensional problems. We

A silicon implementation of the fly's optomotor control system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Flies are capable of stabilizing their body during free flight by using visual motion information to estimate self-rotation. We have built a hardware model of this optomotor control system in a standard CMOS VLSI process. The result is a small, low-power

Optimal local estimates of visual motion in a natural environment

open access: yes, 2018
Many organisms, from flies to humans, use visual signals to estimate their motion through the world. To explore the motion estimation problem, we have constructed a camera/gyroscope system that allows us to sample, at high temporal resolution, the joint ...

Detection of heroin metabolites at different developmental stages of Lucilia cuprina (Diptera: Calliphoridae) reared in heroin-treated meat: a preliminary analysis

open access: yesEgyptian Journal of Forensic Sciences, 2019
Background Blowfly larvae and pupae collected during post-mortem forensic investigation can be analysed to detect drugs or toxins in a dead body. Drug or toxin-contaminated tissues of human remains consumed by blowfly larvae are stored in the crop even ...

Controlling Ectoparasites on Welsh Organic Sheep Farms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
1. Organophosphate (OP) based dips offer a broad spectrum control against all major ectoparasites in the UK. However, there is continuing controversy over the safety to dip operators and the environment. The use of OPs is prohibited by organic standards,
