Decomposition Dynamics of an Orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus morio) Carcass in a Tropical Forest: Implications for Conservation Practices

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
We documented the complete decomposition process of a wild Bornean orangutan carcass in a lowland dipterocarp forest in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo. This represents the first detailed observation of great ape decomposition in Borneo. Our study provides a rare insight into the often‐overlooked process of carcass breakdown and decomposition in tropical ...

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.

Divergent Genetic Pathways Underlying Convergent Parasitic Behaviours in Blowflies

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 11, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Blowfly (Diptera: Calliphoridae) exhibit diverse feeding strategies, with most species developing on decomposing organic matter. However, parasitism has evolved within the family, and some species convergently gained the ability to explore the tissues of living vertebrate hosts, which imposes critical veterinary, medical, and agricultural ...

Development of the house fly, Musca domestica L. (Diptera: Muscidae), on pork tissue at two temperatures

Journal of Forensic Sciences, Volume 70, Issue 2, Page 619-626, March 2025.
Abstract The house fly, Musca domestica, L. (Diptera: Muscidae), is a filth fly that is often associated with criminal and civil investigations surrounding abuse, neglect, and death of humans and other vertebrates. However, development data, which are crucial for determining the age of immatures collected under forensically relevant circumstances, are ...
