A silicon implementation of the fly's optomotor control system [PDF]
Flies are capable of stabilizing their body during free flight by using visual motion information to estimate self-rotation. We have built a hardware model of this optomotor control system in a standard CMOS VLSI process. The result is a small, low-power

Abstract The sterile insect technique (SIT) is a highly effective biologically‐based method for the suppression of many insect pest populations. SIT efficacy could be improved by methods of male sterilization that avoid the use of irradiation that can result in diminished fitness and mating competitiveness.

Common DNA-based species determination methods fail to distinguish some blow flies in the forensically and medically important genus Lucilia Robineau-Desvoidy. This is a practical problem, and it has also been interpreted as casting doubt on the validity

Selection, counterselection, and conditional gene expression for genetic biocontrol of insects
Selection, counterselection, and conditional expression can be used for sex separation. Selection (S) and counterselection (CS) genes are linked to the sex chromosomes (e.g., the X and Y chromosomes) to confer sex‐specific selection or counterselection based on the presence or absence of the S or CS genes.

Nocturnal oviposition behavior of forensically important Diptera in Central England [PDF]
Timing of oviposition on a corpse is a key factor in entomologically based minimum postmortem interval (mPMI) calculations. However, there is considerable variation in nocturnal oviposition behavior of blow flies reported in the research literature. This

Pengujian Feromon Seks pada Lalat Hijau Lucilia Sericata Meigen (Diptera: Calliphoridae) [PDF]
Isolasi feromon sex dari lalat hijau (Lucilia sericata) telah dilaksanakan untuk diteliti pengaruhnya terhadap pengurangan populasinya. Feromon sex diperoleh dengan cara memotong ujung abdominal lalat hijau kemudian diuji dengan menggunakan olfactometer.
