Nicholson's blowflies revisited
Nature, 1980A simple time-delay model of laboratory insect populations which postulates a ‘humped’ relationship between future adult recruitment and current adult population gives good quantitative agreement with Nicholson's classic blowfly data and explains the appearance of narrow ‘discrete’ generations in cycling populations.

Journal of Morphology, 1934
AbstractThis paper deals with the morphology of all the so‐called gustatory and olfactory organs of blowflies, and describes tests conducted to determine whether these insects taste with their tarsi and smell with their antennae and palpi. Antennae bear two types of so‐called olfactory hairs, while palpi bear only one.

Contact Chemoreceptors of Blowfly Tarsi
Nature, 1954THE contact chemoreceptors of blowfly tarsi have been the subject of much experimental work since the existence of a tarsal taste sense in the Calliphoridae was discovered by Minnich1; the literature has been reviewed elsewhere2,3. The receptors concerned have not been positively identified and no details of the structure of the receptor surface have ...

Homoeopathic Links, 2010
A case of fear and panic associated with hay fever treated with MUSCA DOMESTICA. The case shows the main themes of the insects including work, flight, sudden death, metamorphosis, dirt and confusion of sexual identity.

Thirst in the Blowfly, Lucilia cuprina
Nature, 1964FACTORS controlling the oral intake of water by the blowfly, Phormia regina, have been investigated by Evans1 and Dethier and Evans2, who demonstrated that the acceptance or rejection of water by this insect is correlated with the volume of the blood. This communication describes experiments which indicate that the thirst mechanism of Lucilia cuprina ...

Global attractivity in Nicholson’s blowflies
Applied Mathematics, 1996The author studies the delay differential equation \[ N'(t)=-\delta N(t)+pN(t-\tau)\exp(-aN(t-\tau)),\quad t\geq0, \] used in describing the dynamics of Nicholson's blowflies. When \(p>\delta\), he establishes sufficient conditions for the global attractivity of the nontrivial equilibrium.

Stretch Receptors in the Foregut of the Blowfly
Science, 1967Two bipolar neurons are located in a nerve branch connecting the recurrent nerve and foregut of the blowfly Phormia regina Spike activity accompanying peristalsis or controlled enlargement of the foregut region is recorded from two cells in the recurrent nerve. The spikes are abolished by section of the nerve branch

The Climatology of Blowfly Myiasis
Bulletin of Entomological Research, 1947The relationship of oviposition to weather, with a standard stimulus (4 per cent. ammonium carbonate), has been tested by a series of 134 exposures of a group of three sheep for one hour. 190 egg clusters were obtained, of which 169 were identified. With the exception of one cluster of L. caesar all were L. sericata.There was a fairly close correlation

1980
Their habit of breeding in putrefying matter has led many of the higher flies into an interesting and sometimes important association with various animals (wild and domesticated) and with man. Although some maggots feed on living plants, it is possible that the original breeding material of the group was decaying vegetation, which is still the normal ...

The evolution of myiasis in blowflies (Calliphoridae)
International Journal for Parasitology, 2003Blowflies (Calliphoridae) are characterised by the ability of their larvae to develop in animal flesh. Where the host is a living vertebrate, such parasitism by dipterous larvae is known as myiasis. However, the evolutionary origins of the myiasis habit in the Calliphoridae, a family which includes the blowflies and screwworm flies, remain unclear ...
