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

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]
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 ...

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

Pig Tales: Forensic Taphonomy in Cozine Creek [PDF]
The medicolegal community relies heavily upon determining the postmortem interval (PMI), the knowledge of how much time has elapsed since the person has died.

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

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]
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,
