Ecdysteroid receptors of the blowfly Calliphora vicina [PDF]
Ecdysteroids, the molting hormones of arthropods, act like vertebrate steroid hormones by binding to an intracellular receptor protein. We have recently isolated a protein from nuclei of blowfly larvae which has satisfied the requirements of an ecdysteroid receptor.

Megaselia scalaris (Diptera: Phoridae), a fly of forensic interest: advances in chronobiology and biology [PDF]
Megaselia scalaris (Diptera, Phoridae) is a common species found amongst indoor and outdoor crime scenes and plays an important role in the decomposition of human remains and can be used following the forensic entomology approach for the estimation of ...

Neuromuscular control of aerodynamic forces and moments in the blowfly,Calliphora vicina [PDF]
SUMMARYFlies 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. In order to investigate the relationships among neuromuscular control, musculo-skeletal mechanics and flight forces, we captured high-speed, three-dimensional wing ...

Incorporation of calliphorin into the cuticle of the developing blowfly, Calliphora vicina
The stage-specific appearance of calliphorin in cuticles of Calliphora vicina was analysed by sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and immunoblotting. The fate of the protein, injected into last instar larvae, was pursued by autoradiography of histological sections.

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