Density Underpins Shifts From Competition to Facilitation in Co-Invading Blowflies. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe performed species interactions experiments on > 1900 individuals of co‐occurring invasive blowflies. We found that interaction outcomes varied by species, suggesting that competitive outcomes for co‐invaders are strongly shaped by both density and species balance.

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 ...

Plasticity in parental care: Interspecific competitor cues shape biparental cooperation in a burying beetle. [PDF]
J Anim EcolOur study contributes to our understanding of the effects of interspecific competition in species with biparental care where male and female parents must somehow coordinate their response to interspecific competition. Abstract Interspecific competition is an important evolutionary driver of many species' life histories and behaviours, arising wherever ...

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

Effects of clonazepam and flunitrazepam on the development cycle of Calliphora vicina Robineau-Desvoidy 1830 and their forensic implications [PDF]
Scientific ReportsBenzodiazepines are commonly identified in drug overdose deaths worldwide. However, research on their effects on the most common necrophagous insect species is limited.

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).

Initial research on necrophagous true flies (Diptera) in Gryfino Commune
Acta Biologica, 2018 As a result of research carried out in June and July 2017, at five sites in north-western Poland with different characteristics, 769 individuals belonging to three dipteran families of forensic significance were collected.
