Effects of ante-mortem use of methadone on insect succession patterns

open access: yesEgyptian Journal of Forensic Sciences, 2021
Background Evaluation of insect succession patterns is a scientific method to estimate the time elapsed since death. Several studies have shown that ante-mortem intake of opioids affect maggot growth rate.

Beyond Postmortem Interval Estimation: The Use of Insects for the Investigation of Fatal Sexual Assaults

open access: yesWIREs Forensic Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2026.
Sperm cells/heads from within the crop of a third instar larva. ABSTRACT Sexual assaults including unwanted sexual touching and rape are continuously occurring within England and Wales, despite police intervention. Furthermore, as seen within recent media reports, these types of offenses can occur immediately prior to homicide.

Occurrence of Food Chemical Contaminants in Entomophagy: Implications for Food Safety and Future Risk Assessment—A Scoping Review

open access: yesComprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Entomophagy is increasingly recognized as a sustainable alternative to conventional protein sources due to its low environmental impact. However, ensuring its safety requires careful evaluation of chemical contaminants of food safety concern.

THE EVALUATION OF THE "CALLIPHORA TEST" AS AN ASSAY FOR ECDYSONE

open access: yesThe Biological Bulletin, 1970
1. The effect of ligation on pupariation in the front or hind parts of larvae of four species of flies, Calliphora erythrocephala, Phormia regina, Sarcophaga bullata, and S. argyrostoma was investigated. Ligation causes effects of delay or inhibition of pupariation which are very differently expressed in the four species.

Pollinator Associations of Rare and Endangered Epacris Species (Ericaceae) in Lutruwita/Tasmania: Implications for Conservation

open access: yesAustral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The breeding systems of Lutruwita/Tasmania's threatened Epacris taxa are poorly known. Our main objective was to determine the pollinators of several endemic species and explore for relationships between pollinators, floral morphology, flowering time and habitat. The Epacris have limited variation in floral traits and exhibit generalist floral

Postembryonic development of the predatory strike mechanics in a praying mantis (Insecta: Mantodea)

open access: yesPhysiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 377-396, September 2026.
Praying mantis forelegs capture prey using specific kinematic and kinetic traits that change in size and morphology during postembryonic growth and sexual dimorphism influences these dynamics. Strike forces grow hyperallometrically with body weight; larger mantises show longer strike durations, slower joint angular velocities and increased tibia ...
