Structural colour and photonic mechanisms in the blow flies Calliphora vicina and Lucilia richardsi (Diptera: Calliphoridae)

open access: yesJournal of the European Optical Society-Rapid Publications
Structural colours in natural organisms are created by complex photonic architectures giving rise to remarkable visual appearances. In arthropods, these structures are usually made of biopolymers and comprise photonic crystals. They are often iridescent,

Competition for food resources affects time-of-deathestimation variables in the forensic-relevant fly species Lucilia sericata and Calliphora vicina

open access: yesUniversitas Scientiarum
In forensic entomology, larval density and competition for food resources among the first cadaver-colonizing insects can affect the accuracy and reliability of the estimated time of death as the minimal postmortem interval (mPMI).

Influence of photoperiod on the developmental times of the forensically relevant blow fly species Calliphora vicina (Diptera: Calliphoridae) [PDF]

open access: yes
Blow flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) are frequently used in forensic investigations due to their rapid colonization of cadavers. As with other insects, environmental temperature strongly influences their developmental rates.
