Optical coherence tomography: Age estimation of Calliphora vicina pupae in vivo ? [PDF]
Forensic Science International, 2014 Necrophagous blowfly pupae are valuable contributors to the estimation of post-mortem interval, should an accurate age estimate be obtained. At present, this is reliant on a combination of rearing and destructive methods conducted on preserved samples, including morphological observation and gene expression analyses.

Survival of Calliphora vicina (Diptera: Calliphoridae) embryos under cold temperature conditions: forensic implications. [PDF]
Med Vet EntomolCold temperatures significantly reduce survival in early‐stage Calliphora vicina embryos (0%–20% development). Calliphora vicina embryos of later developmental stages (40%–80% development), however, have shown high tolerance to cold temperatures, with very high survival rates.
