Do longer sequences improve the accuracy of identification of forensically important Calliphoridae species? [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 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).

Neuromuscular control of aerodynamic forces and moments in the blowfly, Calliphora vicina [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Flies are among the most agile of flying insects, a capacity that ultimately results from their nervous system's control over steering muscles and aerodynamic forces during flight.

Summation of visual and mechanosensory feedback in Drosophila flight control [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

Looking into the puparium: Micro‐CT visualization of the internal morphological changes during metamorphosis of the blow fly, Calliphora vicina, with the first quantitative analysis of organ development in cyclorrhaphous dipterans

open access: yesJournal of morphology, 2017
Metamorphosis of cyclorrhaphous flies takes place inside a barrel‐like puparium, formed by the shrinking, hardening and darkening of the third‐instar larval cuticle.

Time Spent by Calliphora Spp. Blowflies on Standard Traps Baited with Liver and Ammonia

open access: yesScientific Papers Animal Science and Biotechnologies, 2023
The larvae of blowflies from the Calliphoridae family cause fly strikes in sheep and other species of economic importance. Impaired wool, decrease of ewe fertility, and even death can occur in heavy infestations.

Determination of Calliphoridae (Insecta: Diptera) Succession on Pig Carcasses in Central Anatolia, Turkey

open access: yesJournal of Advanced Research in Natural and Applied Sciences, 2023
Insects function as a biological clock in determining the time elapsed after death which is also called minimum postmortem interval (PMImin). Particularly, Calliphoridae family members are the first colonizers.
