Applied Sciences, 2022 Necrophagous insects are indicators of corpse decay. Analyses of their development stages give us indications on the degree of decay of corpses and contribute to the determination of the post-mortem interval.

Fast temporal adaptation of on-off units in the first optic chiasm of the blowfly [PDF]
, 1991 We recorded from spiking units in the first optic chiasm between lamina and medulla in the brain of the blowfly (Calliphora vicina). Both previously characterized neuron types, on-off units and sustaining units, were encountered.

Modulation of Negative Work Output from a Steering Muscle of the Blowfly Calliphora Vicina [PDF]
, 1994 Of the 17 muscles responsible for flight control in flies, only the first basalar muscle (b1) is known to fire an action potential each and every wing beat at a precise phase of the wing-beat period.

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.Hyperspectral proximal sensing was used to characterize the life stages and physiological responses of Diatraea saccharalis and to detect parasitism by Cotesia flavipes. Distinct spectral signatures differentiated eggs, larval instars, pupae, and adults, as well as live, dead, and parasitized larvae.

The correlation between wing kinematics and steering muscle activity in the blowfly Calliphora vicina [PDF]
, 2001 Determining how the motor patterns of the nervous system are converted into the mechanical and behavioral output of the body is a central goal in the study of locomotion.

Substrate Preference of Black Soldier Fly Larvae Is Influenced by Rearing History
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.BSF larvae were reared under six different conditions: low, medium, or high larval density and on low, medium, and high‐water feeds to investigate feed choice behaviour. Larvae reared under all six conditions preferred substrate colonised by conspecifics. Low‐water feed caused slower larval growth and development.

Year‐round pollinator visitation of ornamental plants in Mediterranean urban parks
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Pollinators visiting ornamental plants in urban parks remained diverse throughout the year. They were represented by wild bees (42%), honeybees (37%), flies (18%), butterflies (2%) and beetles (1%). Both native and non‐native plants attracted pollinators.

Comparison of Encoding Properties of Campaniform Sensilla on the Fly Wing [PDF]
, 1990 The wing blade of the blowfly Calliphora vomitoria (L.) carries an array of campaniform sensilla which have previously been divided into slowly and rapidly adapting classes based on their responses to step indentations.
