A `bright zone' in male hoverfly (Eristalis tenax) eyes and associated faster motion detection and increased contrast sensitivity [PDF]
, 2006 Eyes of the hoverfly Eristalis tenax are sexually dimorphic such that males have a fronto-dorsal region of large facets. In contrast to other large flies in which large facets are associated with a decreased interommatidial angle to form a dorsal `acute ...

Geometric-morphometric analysis of wing shape of Lucilla sericata Meigen (Diptera: calliphoridae) from two different environments [PDF]
Computational Ecology and Software, 2021 The common green blowfly, Lucilla sericata, is a widespread species with forensic, medical, and veterinary importance. In this study, we use geometric morphometric as a tool to assess differences in the wing shape of female L.

The Stiles-Crawford Effect in the Eye of the Blowfly, Calliphora erythrocephala [PDF]
, 1985 Stiles-Crawford-like effects (that is, directional sensitivity of the retina) were investigated in the fly’s eye. Intracellular recordings from the visual sense cells were made, and the radiation patterns emerging from the photoreceptors with antidromic ...

Stabilizing gaze in flying blowflies [PDF]
Nature, 1998 When the gaze is moved quickly, vision becomes blurred and the way in which three-dimensional structures are seen can be affected1. How can these effects be minimized? During flight, blowflies (Calliphora vicina) turn both the head and the thorax very quickly, producing gaze shifts which affect vision.

Rearing Chrysomya megacephala on artificial diets composed of varying concentrations of albumin
Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2009 Larvae of the blowfly Chrysomya megacephala were reared on an artificial diet composed of five different concentrations of albumin (2, 4, 6, 8 and 10%) and the control group was fed on putrid bovine meat.

Summation of visual and mechanosensory feedback in Drosophila flight control [PDF]
, 2004 The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster relies on feedback from multiple sensory modalities to control flight maneuvers. Two sensory organs, the compound eyes and mechanosensory hindwings called halteres, are capable of encoding angular velocity of the ...

Molecular and pharmacological characterization of serotonin 5-HT2α and 5-HT7 receptors in the salivary glands of the blowfly Calliphora vicina. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Secretion in blowfly (Calliphora vicina) salivary glands is stimulated by the biogenic amine serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT), which activates both inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP(3))/Ca(2+) and cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP ...
