Pollination of Enclosed Avocado Trees by Blow Flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) and a Hover Fly (Diptera: Syrphidae) [PDF]
InsectsDespite flies regularly visiting flowers, limited research has gone into their pollination ability on commercial crops. A national project in Australia aimed to identify fly species as potential managed pollinators for the horticultural industry and, in ...

Diptera in the Forensic Investigation of Human Deaths in Great Britain and the Dominant Role of Calliphora vicina (Calliphoridae) in Estimating a Minimum Post-Mortem Interval [PDF]
InsectsSaprophagic flies can have a vital role in forensic investigations of suspicious death by providing an estimate of the minimum post-mortem interval (minPMI). An exemplar blow fly species, Calliphora vicina (Diptera: Calliphoridae), is frequently reported

Do longer sequences improve the accuracy of identification of forensically important Calliphoridae species? [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Species identification is a crucial step in forensic entomology. In several cases the calculation of the larval age allows the estimation of the minimum Post-Mortem Interval (mPMI).
