Microbial effects on the development of forensically important blow fly species [PDF]
Colonisation times and development rates of specific blow fly species are used to estimate the minimum Post Mortem Interval (mPMI). The presence or absence of bacteria on a corpse can potentially affect the development and survival of blow fly larvae ...

Assessing predation pressure of Vespa velutina on local fauna through DNA metabarcoding
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 ...

The control of wing kinematics and flight forces in fruit flies (Drosophila spp.) [PDF]
By simultaneously measuring flight forces and stroke kinematics in several species of fruit flies in the genus Drosophila, we have investigated the relationship between wing motion and aerodynamic force production. We induced tethered flies to vary their

Nocturnal oviposition behavior of forensically important Diptera in Central England [PDF]
Timing of oviposition on a corpse is a key factor in entomologically based minimum postmortem interval (mPMI) calculations. However, there is considerable variation in nocturnal oviposition behavior of blow flies reported in the research literature. This

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 ...

Neural coding of naturalistic motion stimuli
We study a wide field motion sensitive neuron in the visual system of the blowfly {\em Calliphora vicina}. By rotating the fly on a stepper motor outside in a wooded area, and along an angular motion trajectory representative of natural flight, we ...

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.
