Rapid ecological and evolutionary divergence during a poleward range expansion
Ecological Monographs, Volume 96, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract Understanding how species distributions respond to environmental change is a key question in ecology and evolution. While many species are shifting their ranges, the mechanisms driving the extent and rate of these shifts, and the consequences of their establishment in a novel environment, are often poorly understood.

Neural coding of naturalistic motion stimuli
, 2001 We study a wide field motion sensitive neuron in the visual system of the blowfly {\em Calliphora vicina}. By rotating the fly on a stepper motor outside in a wooded area, and along an angular motion trajectory representative of natural flight, we ...

The role of visual and mechanosensory cues in structuring forward flight in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
, 2007 It has long been known that many flying insects use visual cues to orient with respect to the wind and to control their groundspeed in the face of varying wind conditions.

SYNCAS‐mediated CRISPR‐Cas9 genome editing in the Jewel wasp, Nasonia vitripennis
Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 1, Page 48-55, February 2026.Maternal injection of Cas9 RNP together with BAPC and saponins (SYNCAS) results in efficient gene editing of Nasonia vitripennis offspring. The timing of injection and egg collection is important for maximising efficiency and reducing screening effort.

Linear and Nonlinear Encoding Properties of an Identified Mechanoreceptor on the Fly wing Measured with Mechanical Noise Stimuli [PDF]
, 1990 The wing blades of most flies contain a small set of distal campaniform sensilla, mechanoreceptors that respond to deformations of the cuticle. This paper describes a method of analysis based upon mechanical noise stimuli which is used to quantify the ...

Amphibian Strategies Against Attacks by Flies: Host‐Specificity and Threats
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.Species interactions between Diptera flies and amphibians play a significant role in tropical ecosystems, but their ecology and evolution remain understudied. This review explores the costs flies impose on amphibians, such as pathogen transmission and disruption of communication systems, and highlights the evolutionary strategies employed by both ...

Blowflies are potential vector for avian influenza virus at enzootic area in Japan
Scientific ReportsHigh pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) poses a significant threat to both domestic and wild birds globally. The avian influenza virus, known for environmental contamination and subsequent oral infection in birds, necessitates careful consideration of ...
