Effects of environmental temperature on oviposition behavior in three blow fly species of forensic importance [PDF]
A number of factors are known to affect blow fly behavior with respect to oviposition. Current research indicates that temperature is the most significant factor.

Ancient and modern hybridization between Lucilia sericata and L. cuprina (Diptera: Calliphoridae)
There are important but inconsistent differences in breeding site preference between the blow flies Lucilia sericata (Meigen, 1826) and L. cuprina (Wiedemann, 1830) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) that have significance for medical and veterinary science. These

Silver gull carcasses host unique carrion insect communities on a nearshore island
Abstract Island ecosystems offer unique opportunities to study the dynamics of species that rely on ephemeral resources such as carrion. This study investigated the necrophagous insect communities associated with carrion of silver gulls (Chroicocephalus novaehollandiae) on a small nearshore island off the east coast of Australia, to assess how ...

Fine Structure of the Eggshell of the Blow Fly,Lucilia cuprina [PDF]
The fine structure of the eggshell of blow fly, Lucilia cuprina (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Calliphoridae), was examined using scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Eggs, 1.09+/-0.07 mm in length and 0.25+/-0.05 mm in width, bore a relatively wide plastron that extending along almost the entire length.

A Thermostable Bacterial Metallohydrolase that Degrades Organophosphate Plasticizers
This bacterial enzyme, cyclase‐phosphotriesterase (C‐PTE) from Ruegeria pomeroyi DSS‐3, shows significant potential for breaking down organophosphate pollutants. Beyond its capability to hydrolyze specific plasticizers such as triphenyl phosphate and tris(2‐chloropropyl) phosphate, C‐PTE's crystal structure reveals a binuclear zinc active site, and it ...
