Ecological Preferences of Calliphoridae and Sarcophagidae (Diptera) in the Region Calabria (Southern Italy)

Insects
Diptera belonging to the families Calliphoridae and Sarcophagidae are known for their diversified trophic preferences and for their forensic and medical-veterinary relevance.

Allometry of Ingestion Among Habitat Mimicking Praying Mantises

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
We investigate the allometry of ingestion among habitat mimicking praying mantises. We found strong relations to body size, but not camouflage. We compare our results to handling time in other predatory groups. ABSTRACT Ingestion is the process of consuming a resource and is a component of an organism's handling time, which can limit the acquisition of

Rapid ecological and evolutionary divergence during a poleward range expansion

Ecological Monographs, Volume 96, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Understanding how species distributions respond to environmental change is a key question in ecology and evolution. While many species are shifting their ranges, the mechanisms driving the extent and rate of these shifts, and the consequences of their establishment in a novel environment, are often poorly understood.

SYNCAS‐mediated CRISPR‐Cas9 genome editing in the Jewel wasp, Nasonia vitripennis

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 1, Page 48-55, February 2026.
Maternal injection of Cas9 RNP together with BAPC and saponins (SYNCAS) results in efficient gene editing of Nasonia vitripennis offspring. The timing of injection and egg collection is important for maximising efficiency and reducing screening effort.

Phylogenomics and the evolution of larval feeding habits in the blow flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae)

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
Phylogenomic data from anchored hybrid enrichment provide a new phylogeny of Calliphoridae that delimits the family and confirms division into eight monophyletic subfamilies. Fossil‐calibrated divergence times place the origin of Calliphoridae in the mid‐Eocene (ca. 41 Mya) along with other rapidly radiating families of oestroid Diptera. Reconstruction

Reintroduced White Storks (Ciconia ciconia) Have Similar Diets to Their Wild Conspecifics

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.
We explored the dietary composition and compared pellet morphology using pellet analysis (n = 23) between two White Stork (Ciconia ciconia) groups to assess reintroduction effectiveness that consisted of released individuals that were free flying (i.e., “wild group”) and those kept within a confined enclosure (“captive group”). We found that 60% of the

Development and validation of a GC–MS method for nicotine detection in Calliphora vomitoria (L.) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) [PDF]

, 2016
Entomotoxicology is the application of toxicological methods and analytical procedures on necrophagous insects feeding on decomposing tissues to detect drugs and other chemical components, and their mechanisms affecting insect development and morphology ...
