Synomones in necrophagous larvae of the blow flies Lucilia sericata and Calliphora vomitoria

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 2022
Abstract Chemical signals are widespread in insects, but those resulting in interspecific communication ( i.e. , synomones) remain understudied. Here, we analysed chemicals left on substrates by two species of blow fly larvae, Lucilia sericata

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

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

Forensic Science International, 2014
Entomotoxicology is the study of using insects for the detection of drugs and other chemical substances in decomposing tissues. One research aspect in particular is the effects of these substances on arthropod development and morphology, and their consequences on the post mortem interval estimation. Since methamphetamine (MA) is becoming commonplace as

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

Impact of bifenthrin and clothianidin on blow fly (Diptera: Calliphoridae) oviposition patterns under laboratory and field conditions

Journal of Forensic Sciences, Volume 70, Issue 2, Page 627-638, March 2025.
Abstract Blow flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) can detect decomposing remains and begin colonizing the resource through oviposition soon after. The estimated time between colonization and insect evidence collection is referred to as the time of colonization (TOC). Forensic entomologists use the TOC to help estimate the minimum postmortem interval (mPMI),

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Silene uniflora‡

Journal of Ecology, Volume 112, Issue 9, Page 2135-2157, September 2024.
Sea Campion (Silene uniflora) flowers throughout the summer on cliffs, dunes and shingle, mainly around the Atlantic and Baltic coasts of Europe. Plants may have hermaphrodite flowers, female‐only flowers or both. Long‐tongued Hymenoptera and night‐flying moths are important pollinators, and they commonly also transmit a castrating fungal disease ...

Resilin in Insect Flight Systems

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 34, Issue 35, August 28, 2024.
The development of resilin‐based biomaterials for medical and industrial applications has been constantly advanced in recent years. Resilin is a rubber‐like protein that occurs in arthropod exoskeleton structures. In the insect flight system, its function depends on its overall location, protein sequence and mixture with stiffer exoskeleton components.
