An assessment of the antibacterial activity in larval excretion/secretion of four species of insects recorded in association with corpses, using Lucilia sericata Meigen as the marker species [PDF]
, 2010 The relative antibacterial activities of excretion/secretion (ES) from two carrion-feeding insects, Calliphora vicina Robineau-Desvoidy and Dermestes maculatus DeGeer, and a detritivore, Tenebrio molitor Linnaeus, were compared to that of Lucilia ...

The Role of Olfaction in Orientation of Blowflies to Hosts or Odorous Baited Traps
Scientific Papers Animal Science and Biotechnologies, 2023 Traumatic myiasis is a serious threat for worldwide sheep flocks. It is known that the blowflies’ abundance and occurrence of strikes could be diminished by traps use. The aim of this study was to ascertain the role of olfaction in blowflies’ orientation

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 ...

Artemisia spp. essential oils against the disease-carrying blowfly Calliphora vomitoria
Parasites & Vectors, 2017 BackgroundSynanthropic flies play a considerable role in the transmission of pathogenic and non-pathogenic microorganisms. In this work, the essential oil (EO) of two aromatic plants, Artemisia annua and Artemisiadracunculus, were evaluated for their ...

Heat but Not Cold Tolerance Is Phylogenetically Constrained in Greenlandic Terrestrial Arthropods Under Future Global Warming. [PDF]
Glob Chang BiolIn this study we describe the temperature limits for almost 8% of the Greenlandic arthropod fauna (insects and spiders). By combining this with a DNA analysis and a projection of future climates inhabited by these species we reveal that upwards of 25% of the investigated species risk exposure to stressful temperatures by the end of the century and that

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 ...

In Vivo Time- Resolved Microtomography Reveals the Mechanics of the Blowfly Flight Motor [PDF]
, 2014 Dipteran flies are amongst the smallest and most agile of flying animals. Their wings are driven indirectly by large power muscles, which cause cyclical deformations of the thorax that are amplified through the intricate wing hinge.
