A Conserved Somatic Sex Determination Cascade Instructs Trait‐Specific Sexual Dimorphism in Horned Dung Beetles

Evolution &Development, Volume 27, Issue 1, March 2025.
We report on the discovery of partial conservation as well as partial divergence of the canonical insect sex determination pathway in the gazella dung beetle, Digitonthophagus gazella, an emerging model system in the study of sexually dimorphic traits.

Molecular Analysis of Forensically Important Blow Flies in Thailand

Insects, 2018
Blow flies are the first insect group to colonize on a dead body and thus correct species identification is a crucial step in forensic investigations for estimating the minimum postmortem interval, as developmental times are species-specific.

Post‐mortem interval determinations using insects collected from illegally hunted and dehorned rhinoceros in the Republic of South Africa from 2014 to 2021 Die gebruik van insekte om die nadoodse interval van onwettig gejag en onthoringde renosters wat in die Republiek van Suid‐Afrika van 2014 tot 2021 versamel is, te bepaal

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 58-68, March 2025.
A total of 6684 rhinoceros were poached in South Africa during 2014 to 2021. Insect evidence collected from 19 poached rhinoceros was analysed by the Forensic Entomology laboratory of the South African Police Service. Six species of dipterans and coleopterans were utilised to determine an accurate estimate of the minimum post‐mortem interval.

Stochastic Nicholson's blowflies delay differential equation with regime switching

, 2019
In this paper, we investigate the global existence of almost surely positive solution to a stochastic Nicholson's blowflies delay differential equation with regime switching, and give the estimation of the path. The results presented in this paper extend

Origins and Diversification of Myiasis Across Blowflies

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2025.
This study investigates the evolutionary path to parasitism in blowflies, modeling traits such as trophic specialization, larval food substrate, and developmental temperature. Our results support that blowfly parasitism evolved from saprophagy or facultative parasitism, emphasizing the crucial role of facultative parasitism as a transitional stage ...

The effect of bacterially-dense environments on the development and immune defences of the blowfly Lucilia sericata [PDF]

, 2010
Competitive interactions between insects and microbes and the associated cost of development in bacterially-dense environments are investigated using the blowfly Lucilia sericata (Meigen) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) as a model.

Occurrence of a population of the root‐knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita, with low sensitivity to two major nematicides, fosthiazate and fluopyram, in Japan

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 2, Page 698-706, February 2025.
This study indicated that significantly differences of sensitivity to fosthiazate and fluopyram between two Meloidogyne incognita populations, are due to different histories of nematicide use and a related factor is detoxifying enzymes. Abstract BACKGROUND The root‐knot nematode (RKN), Meloidogyne incognita, affects food production globally and ...
