Moths as potential pollinators in avocado (Persea americana) orchards in temperate regions

New Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 27-38, March 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT Avocado (Persea americana) flowers are primarily diurnal, however low minimum overnight temperatures can delay in the opening of female‐phase flowers such that the flowers open late in the day and remain open overnight. To determine whether moths are important visitors to avocado flowers at night, we trapped moths in the Bay of Plenty, New ...

Larval predation on different instars in blowfly populations

Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2004
During its larval stage, Chrysomya albiceps (Diptera: Calliphoridae) is a facultative predator on other blowflies. In this study, we evaluated the predation by third instar larvae of C.

Effect of carcass model on maggot distribution and thermal generation of two forensically important blowfly species, Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius) and Chrysomya rufifacies (Macquart)

Egyptian Journal of Forensic Sciences, 2018
Background At feeding stage, blowfly larvae (Diptera: Calliphoridae) form aggregation to facilitate the breakdown of a human body after death. The aggregation structure of blowfly larvae could probably be different depending on fly species and food size.

Lords of the flies: dipteran migrants are diverse, abundant and ecologically important

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 4, Page 1635-1659, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Insect migrants are hugely abundant, with recent studies identifying the megadiverse order Diptera as the major component of many migratory assemblages. Despite this, their migratory behaviour has been widely overlooked in favour of more ‘charismatic’ migrant insects such as butterflies, dragonflies, and moths.

Portable Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy and machine learning for sex determination in third instar Chrysomya rufifacies larvae

Journal of Forensic Sciences, Volume 70, Issue 4, Page 1468-1479, July 2025.
Abstract Forensic entomology is crucial in medicolegal investigations, utilizing insects—primarily flies—to estimate a supplemental post‐mortem interval based on their development at the (death) scene. This estimation can be influenced by extrinsic factors like temperature and humidity, as well as intrinsic factors such as species and sex.
