A molecular, morphological, and physiological comparison of English and German populations of Calliphora vicina (Diptera: Calliphoridae). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
The bluebottle blow fly Calliphora vicina is a common species distributed throughout Europe that can play an important role as forensic evidence in crime investigations. Developmental rates of C.

Natural antimicrobial peptide complexes in the fighting of antibiotic resistant biofilms: Calliphora vicina medicinal maggots. [PDF]

PLoS One, 2017
Biofilms, sedimented microbial communities embedded in a biopolymer matrix cause vast majority of human bacterial infections and many severe complications such as chronic inflammatory diseases and cancer.

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

Journal 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,

Technical Note: A comparison of solvents for optimal extraction and morphological identification of blow flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) from sticky traps [PDF]

Forensic Science International: Synergy
Passive sampling techniques such as sticky traps are recommended for research studies assessing colonisation patterns of forensically important flies.

Unexpected Evolutionary Divergence of Tachykinin-Positive Neurons Innervating the Central Complex in Hexapods. [PDF]

J Comp Neurol
The central complex is a group of midline‐spanning neuropils in the brain of insects with a key role in goal‐directed orientation and navigation. Immunolabeling in 25 species, ranging from bristletails to flies, shows that neurons containing peptides of the tachykinin family of neuropeptides are present in most species studied.

Histological age estimation of the eggs of Calliphora vicina Robineau Desvoidy (Diptera: Calliphoridae) [PDF]

Forensic Sciences Research, 2018
Aging blow fly eggs can be critical to a forensic investigation, but there are currently no forensically useful timelines describing internal anatomical changes in embryological development.

Maggot Mass Effect on the Development and Survival of Forensically Important Blow Flies [PDF]

Insects
This study investigates how larval density and associated temperature changes affect the development and survival of two forensically essential blow fly species, Lucilia sericata and Calliphora vicina.

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

Universitas 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).

Novel use of a servosphere to study apodous insects: Investigation of blow fly post-feeding larval dispersal. [PDF]

Med Vet Entomol
A servosphere was used to record the speed, directionality and phototaxis of individual post‐feeding larvae of two species of blow fly (Diptera: Calliphoridae) on a smooth plastic surface over time. The servosphere rotates to compensate for the movement of an insect placed at its apex, thereby facilitating its unimpeded locomotion in any direction and ...
