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.

Versatile roles of disordered transcription factor effector domains in transcriptional regulation
Disordered effector domains (EDs) of transcription factors (TFs) play versatile roles in transcriptional regulation. These include mediating protein–protein interactions with protein complexes like, facilitating condensate formation to enhance transcriptional efficiency, modulating DNA‐binding specificity through genome scanning, and serving as hubs ...

Carrion‐breeding flies of Australia and New Zealand: A review and key to adults
Abstract Carrion‐breeding flies are diverse with over 70 species in the Australasian/Oceanian region, predominantly from the families Calliphoridae and Sarcophagidae. These flies play crucial roles in ecosystems as primary decomposers, pollinators and food sources for a variety of predators and parasites.

Origins and Diversification of Myiasis Across Blowflies
This study investigates the evolutionary path to parasitism in blowflies, modeling traits such as trophic specialization, larval food substrate, and developmental temperature. Our results support that blowfly parasitism evolved from saprophagy or facultative parasitism, emphasizing the crucial role of facultative parasitism as a transitional stage ...

How aphids fly: Take‐off, free flight and implications for short and long distance migration
Abstract An introduction to high‐speed photography and its entomological impact is provided, emphasizing the importance of high frame rates and high resolution. The take‐off and free flight of Drepanosiphum platanoidis and Myzus persicae were studied in still air using high‐speed photography in HD. The wing tip and body posture were tracked to show how

Can Monitoring Data of Forensically Important Blow Flies Be Transferred Between Cities?
ABSTRACT The use of monitoring data to build prediction models for the abundance and activity of necrophagous blow flies is common practice in forensic entomology, but its advantages and disadvantages are still debated. A frequently asked question is the transferability of such species prediction models.

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising alternatives to conventional treatments for polymicrobial biofilms, which increase pathogen resistance. AMPs disrupt biofilm extracellular matrices and microbial membranes, inhibiting biofilm formation and enhancing antibiotic efficacy. Current research addresses challenges like stability and production costs

Epidemiological Insights Into Human Myiasis in Iran: A Comprehensive Systematic Review
Introduction: Myiasis is a condition characterized by the infestation of tissues and organs in humans and other vertebrates with the larvae of certain fly species. It poses a significant medical and public health concern for humans and is also an economic burden for a wide range of domestic and wild animals in tropical and subtropical regions.
