A cDNA subtraction approach to isolate male-specific genes from Ceratitis capitata : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Genetics at Massey University [PDF]
, 2003 The Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceraritis capitata (medfly), is a significant world wide agricultural pest. Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) is a biological method that has been used to control medfly successfully in several parts of the world for around two ...

Interaction Between Visual and Phonotactic Orientation During Flight in \u3ci\u3eMagicicada Cassini\u3c/i\u3e (Homoptera: Cicadidae) [PDF]
, 2017 Visual and phonotactic orientation often occur simultaneously in diurnal cicadas. and these animals generally have their largest sensory elaboration in eyes and hearing organs. Phonotactic orientation occurs principally during flight.

A housefly sensory-motor integration laboratory
Advances in Physiology Education, 2010 Insects have many interesting behaviors that can be observed in an introductory biology laboratory setting. In the present article, we describe several reflexes using the housefly Musca domestica that can be used to introduce students to sensory and motor responses and encourage them to think about the underlying neural circuits and integration of ...

The effect of traditional handling, processing and storage methods on the quality of dried fish in small scale fisheries in Nigeria [PDF]
, 1999 Most of the fish marketed throughout Nigeria are in either smoked or dried form. The technological requirement for other forms of preservation like chilling and freezing cannot be afforded by the small scale fisher folk.

Neuromuscular control of aerodynamic forces and moments in the blowfly, Calliphora vicina [PDF]
, 2004 Flies are among the most agile of flying insects, a capacity that ultimately results from their nervous system's control over steering muscles and aerodynamic forces during flight.

The transformer2 gene in Musca domestica is required for selecting and maintaining the female pathway of development [PDF]
, 2018 We present the isolation and functional analysis of a transformer2 homologue Mdtra2 in the housefly Musca domestica. Compromising the activity of this gene by injecting dsRNA into embryos causes complete sex reversal of genotypically female individuals ...
