Phylogenomics and the evolution of larval feeding habits in the blow flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae)

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
Phylogenomic data from anchored hybrid enrichment provide a new phylogeny of Calliphoridae that delimits the family and confirms division into eight monophyletic subfamilies. Fossil‐calibrated divergence times place the origin of Calliphoridae in the mid‐Eocene (ca. 41 Mya) along with other rapidly radiating families of oestroid Diptera. Reconstruction

Anoxia Tolerance in Four Forensically Important Calliphorid Species

Forensic Sciences, 2022
Forensically important blow flies, Diptera: Calliphoridae, are among the first organisms to colonize carrion. After eggs hatch, the larvae of most blow fly species feed in an aggregation or “mass”.

Advice on animal and public health risks of insects reared on former foodstuffs as raw material for animal feed

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 4, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract In the coming decades, there is expected to be a sharply increased demand for dietary proteins for humans and animals. As a result, there is an increasing focus on reared insects as a new source of protein. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality (LNV), the use of food chain residual flows such as former foodstuffs as

At the edge of darkness: A framework for the evolution of visual systems in dim light

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 10, Page 2626-2636, October 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Light is an important biological cue for all living things. For animals, where many behaviours are driven by sensory input from the eyes, light is also a critical environmental feature shaping animal eye evolution, with the intensity of light (i.e.

Lords of the flies: dipteran migrants are diverse, abundant and ecologically important

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 4, Page 1635-1659, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Insect migrants are hugely abundant, with recent studies identifying the megadiverse order Diptera as the major component of many migratory assemblages. Despite this, their migratory behaviour has been widely overlooked in favour of more ‘charismatic’ migrant insects such as butterflies, dragonflies, and moths.

Assessing predation pressure of Vespa velutina on local fauna through DNA metabarcoding

Journal of Zoology, Volume 326, Issue 4, Page 329-338, August 2025.
This study investigates the predation pressure exerted by the invasive yellow‐legged hornet (Vespa velutina) on native insect populations in Mallorca, using DNA metabarcoding to analyze their diet. Results reveal a diverse prey spectrum, including key insect groups such as Apidae (bees), Calliphoridae (blowflies), and Vespidae (wasps), with no ...

Insect Lipids as Novel Source for Future Applications: Chemical Composition and Industry Applications—A Comprehensive Review

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2025.
Fat body (FB) acts as a major metabolic center important for the regulation of a variety of physiological processes such as embryogenesis, reproduction, flight, overwintering, protection, and communication. Lipid amounts and fatty acid (FA) composition vary with species, stage of life, and their diet.
