Histopathological investigation of wound healing activities of Lucilia sericata Larva and Achillea sintenisii extract combinations in diabetic rat wound model

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Lucilia sericata larvae secrete bioactive compounds that promote wound debridement and antimicrobial defence in chronic tissue injuries. Achillea sintenisii extract offers phytotherapeutic support, enhancing healing through anti‐inflammatory and regenerative properties. Diabetic Wistar rats were treated topically with Furacin®, larval secretions, plant

Post-feeding activity of Lucilia sericata (Diptera: Calliphoridae) on common domestic indoor surfaces and its effect on development [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Developmental data of forensically important blowflies used by entomologists to estimate minimum post mortem interval (mPMI) are established under controlled laboratory conditions for various temperature ranges throughout the stages of egg, 1st-3rd ...

Postembryonic development of the predatory strike mechanics in a praying mantis (Insecta: Mantodea)

open access: yesPhysiological Entomology, EarlyView.
Praying mantis forelegs capture prey using specific kinematic and kinetic traits that change in size and morphology during postembryonic growth and sexual dimorphism influences these dynamics. Strike forces grow hyperallometrically with body weight; larger mantises show longer strike durations, slower joint angular velocities and increased tibia ...

An assessment of the antibacterial activity in larval excretion/secretion of four species of insects recorded in association with corpses, using Lucilia sericata Meigen as the marker species [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The relative antibacterial activities of excretion/secretion (ES) from two carrion-feeding insects, Calliphora vicina Robineau-Desvoidy and Dermestes maculatus DeGeer, and a detritivore, Tenebrio molitor Linnaeus, were compared to that of Lucilia ...

Developmental data of Lucilia sericata larvae reared at different temperatures and larval densities

open access: yes, 2022
This dataset describes the results of developmental experiments published in Ecological Entomology by the same authors (2022). These experiments tested the effect of temperature and the presence of congeners on the development of Lucilia sericata larvae.

Hairy, hairy quite contrary: Pollination and functional floral traits in a hirsute carrion‐scented stapeliad

open access: yesTAXON, Volume 75, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Floral mimicry of decaying substrates of animal origin, such as carrion or faeces, is associated with unusual traits such as geoflory, deep maroon or yellow colouration, floral hairs and unpleasant odour, but the functional significance of these traits for attracting and manipulating pollinators has seldom been examined.

Substrate Preference of Black Soldier Fly Larvae Is Influenced by Rearing History

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 6, Page 477-494, June 2026.
BSF larvae were reared under six different conditions: low, medium, or high larval density and on low, medium, and high‐water feeds to investigate feed choice behaviour. Larvae reared under all six conditions preferred substrate colonised by conspecifics. Low‐water feed caused slower larval growth and development.

A metagenomic assessment of the bacteria associated with Lucilia sericata and Lucilia cuprina (Diptera: Calliphoridae)

open access: yes, 2014
Lucilia Robineau-Desvoidy (Diptera: Calliphoridae) is a blow fly genus of forensic, medical, veterinary, and agricultural importance. This genus is also famous because of its beneficial uses in maggot debridement therapy (MDT).
