Generation cycles in experimental populations of a multivoltine insect
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 5, Page 782-794, May 2026.Although theory suggests various mechanisms by which environmental and ecological factors may drive generational fluctuations, our field‐cage experiment is the first to demonstrate how internal dynamics and external disturbances jointly produce synchronised, large‐scale outbreak cycles.

Comparative Mitogenomics and Phylogenetics of the Nose Flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae, Rhiniinae)
AnimalsThe Rhiniinae (Diptera: Calliphoridae), a recently reclassified subfamily of blowflies, comprise approximately 400 species across 30 to 39 genera, which occupy diverse ecological associations, including flower visitation and specialized associations with

Spring Season Survey of the Urban Blowflies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) of Chicago, Illinois [PDF]
, 2017 During May 1980, 1165 blowflies of 12 species were trapped on chemically enhanced rat carrion baits in a dense urban setting in Chicago. In descending order, Cynomyopsis cadaverina, Lucilia sericata, and Phormia regina were the most abundant species ...

Evaluating the Molecular Potential and Interpretability of DNA in Historical Spirit Collection Media
Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 4, May 2026.ABSTRACT Advancements in historical genomics increasingly leverage museum collections to study past ecosystems, species interactions and biodiversity. Formalin‐fixed, ethanol‐preserved specimens, once thought inaccessible to molecular analyses due to DNA degradation, are emerging as valuable genomic resources.

Fatty acid solubilizer from the oral disk of the blowfly. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Blowflies are economic pests of the wool industry and potential vectors for epidemics. The establishment of a pesticide-free, environmentally friendly blowfly control strategy is necessary.

Dynamical Systems, Stability, and Chaos
, 2007 In this expository and resources chapter we review selected aspects of the mathematics of dynamical systems, stability, and chaos, within a historical framework that draws together two threads of its early development: celestial mechanics and control ...

Preserving neural function under extreme scaling [PDF]
, 2013 Important brain functions need to be conserved throughout organisms of extremely varying sizes. Here we study the scaling properties of an essential component of computation in the brain: the single neuron. We compare morphology and signal propagation of

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 5, May 2026.As the frequency and intensity of extreme heat events are increasing, it is urgently important to understand how organisms respond to and recover from heat stress. Here we extend the existing Thermal Death Time framework to include the antagonistic processes of accumulation and repair of thermal injury, which operate at stressful and permissive ...

Insects feeding on cadavers as an alternative source of human genetic material
Archives of Forensic Medicine and Criminology, 2015 In some criminal cases, the use of classical sources of human genetic material is difficult or even impossible. One solution may be the use of insects, especially blowfly larvae which feed on corpses.

Separate roles of PKA and EPAC in renal function unraveled by the optogenetic control of cAMP levels in vivo [PDF]
, 2013 Cyclic AMP (cAMP) is a ubiquitous second messenger that regulates a variety of essential processes in diverse cell types, functioning via cAMP-dependent effectors such as protein kinase A (PKA) and/or exchange proteins directly activated by cAMP (EPAC ...
