Fast temporal adaptation of on-off units in the first optic chiasm of the blowfly [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
We recorded from spiking units in the first optic chiasm between lamina and medulla in the brain of the blowfly (Calliphora vicina). Both previously characterized neuron types, on-off units and sustaining units, were encountered.

Year‐round pollinator visitation of ornamental plants in Mediterranean urban parks

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Pollinators visiting ornamental plants in urban parks remained diverse throughout the year. They were represented by wild bees (42%), honeybees (37%), flies (18%), butterflies (2%) and beetles (1%). Both native and non‐native plants attracted pollinators.

Cutaneous myiasis in cats and dogs: Cases, predisposing conditions and risk factors

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, 2021
Two cases of cutaneous myiasis diagnosed in 2018 in Emilia‐Romagna region (northern Italy) were reported. The first one, described in a domestic cat Felis silvestris catus L. (Carnivora: Felidae) and caused by Calliphora vicina Robineau‐Desvoidy (Diptera:

Determination of Calliphoridae (Insecta: Diptera) Succession on Pig Carcasses in Central Anatolia, Turkey

open access: yesJournal of Advanced Research in Natural and Applied Sciences, 2023
Insects function as a biological clock in determining the time elapsed after death which is also called minimum postmortem interval (PMImin). Particularly, Calliphoridae family members are the first colonizers.

Expansion of invasive carabids across elevation and habitats on sub‐Antarctic South Georgia

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Two introduced carabid species have continued to expand their ranges on the sub‐Antarctic island of South Georgia over the past 10–15 years. The species have colonised inland valleys and are present across habitats but are more abundant in those with high vegetation cover. N‐mixture models revealed the optimal sampling method, intensity and habitat for

Temperature requirements for the growth of immature stages of blowflies species, Chrysomya albiceps and Calliphora vicina, (Diptera:Calliphoridae) under laboratory conditions

open access: yesEgyptian Journal of Forensic Sciences, 2018
Background In forensic entomology, a way to estimate Post Mortem Interval (PMI) is to use development data of the first colonizing insects on a dead body.

Modulation of Negative Work Output from a Steering Muscle of the Blowfly Calliphora Vicina [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
Of the 17 muscles responsible for flight control in flies, only the first basalar muscle (b1) is known to fire an action potential each and every wing beat at a precise phase of the wing-beat period.
