Origins and Diversification of Myiasis Across Blowflies

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2025.
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

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 1, Page 90-99, February 2025.
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?

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 1, Page 36-46, February 2025.
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: A Promising Alternative to Conventional Antimicrobials for Combating Polymicrobial Biofilms

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 9, 2025.
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

A `bright zone' in male hoverfly (Eristalis tenax) eyes and associated faster motion detection and increased contrast sensitivity [PDF]

, 2006
Eyes of the hoverfly Eristalis tenax are sexually dimorphic such that males have a fronto-dorsal region of large facets. In contrast to other large flies in which large facets are associated with a decreased interommatidial angle to form a dorsal `acute ...

Comparison of Encoding Properties of Campaniform Sensilla on the Fly Wing [PDF]

, 1990
The wing blade of the blowfly Calliphora vomitoria (L.) carries an array of campaniform sensilla which have previously been divided into slowly and rapidly adapting classes based on their responses to step indentations.
