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”.

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 ...

Versatile roles of disordered transcription factor effector domains in transcriptional regulation
The FEBS Journal, Volume 292, Issue 12, Page 3014-3033, June 2025.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 ...
