Dispersal and Burial Behavior in Larvae of Chrysomya megacephala and Chrysomya albiceps (Diptera, Calliphoridae)

Journal of Insect Behavior, 2005
Blowflies use discrete and ephemeral substrates to feed their larva. After they run out of food, the larvae begin to disperse in order to find adequate places for pupation or additional food sources, a process named post-feeding larval dispersal. Briefly state the aspects and why they are important were studied in a circular arena of 25 cm in diameter ...

Cannibalistic Behavior and Functional Response in Chrysomya albiceps (Diptera: Calliphoridae)

Journal of Insect Behavior, 2004
Chrysomya albiceps is a facultative predator and cannibal species during the larval stage. Very little is known about cannibalism and prey size preference, especially in blowflies. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the influence of prey size and larval density on cannibalism by third-instar larvae of C.

Foraging behaviour by an intraguild predator blowfly, Chrysomya albiceps (Diptera: Calliphoridae)

Journal of Ethology, 2006
Optimal foraging theory assumes that predators use different prey types to maximize their rate of energetic gain. Studies focusing on prey preference are important sources of information to understand the foraging dynamics of Chrysomya albiceps. The purpose of this investigation is to determine the influence of larval starvation in C.

Dispersal and Predation Behavior in Larvae of Chrysomya albiceps and Chrysomya megacephala (Diptera: Calliphoridae)

Journal of Insect Behavior, 2005
Chrysomya albiceps and Chrysomya megacephala are exotic blowfly species known by producing myiasis in humans and other animals and by transmitting pathogens mechanically. C. albiceps stand out by being a facultative predator of other dipteran larvae.

The blowfly Chrysomya albiceps (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) as a new forensic indicator in Central Europe

International Journal of Legal Medicine, 2003
During the summer months of the year 2001, six forensic cases (one is reported in the present paper), a pig carrion study in the city of Vienna (latitude 48 degrees 12'N, longitude 16 degrees 22'E) and several liver-baited traps north of Vienna, yielded large numbers of maggots of the blowfly Chrysomya albiceps (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Calliphoridae ...

Estimating the age of immature Chrysomya albiceps (Diptera: Calliphoridae), correcting for temperature and geographical latitude

International Journal of Legal Medicine, 2007
Developmental curves for Chrysomya albiceps (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) were established at 13 different constant temperatures using developmental landmarks and length as measures of age. The thermal summation constants (K) and developmental zeros (D (0)) were calculated for five developmental landmarks using the method described by Ikemoto ...

Molecular Phylogeny ofChrysomya albicepsandC. rufifacies(Diptera: Calliphoridae)

Journal of Medical Entomology, 1999
Mitochondrial DNA was used to infer the phylogeny and genetic divergences of Chrysomya albiceps (Wiedemann) and C. rufifacies (Maquart) specimens from widely separated localities in the Old and New World. Analyses based on a 2.3-kb region including the genes for cytochrome oxidase subunits I and II indicated that the 2 species were separate ...

Development of Chrysomya albiceps (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) in Different Pig Tissues

Neotropical Entomology, 2013
Chrysomya albiceps (Wiedemann) has been encountered breeding in animal carcasses and human bodies in many geographical regions. This species is considered an important postmortem indicator for Medical Legal Forensic Entomology. Studies have also demonstrated its capacity to develop in various natural and semi-synthetic substrates. The present study was
