The floral interface: a playground for interactions between insect pollinators, microbes, and plants
ABSTRACT Insect pollinators acquire microorganisms when they visit flowers for nutrients. The interactions that occur at the floral interface are complex with three participants – pollinators, plants and microorganisms. The majority of the insect pollinator’s microbiome is shaped by their behaviour, diet and environment.

Deadly Decomposers: Distinguishing Life History Strategies on the Parasitism‐Saprotrophy Spectrum
Despite being widespread, common, and important to medicine and agriculture, parasitic decomposers are poorly understood. Drawing on literature spanning bacteria to animals, we show that these deadly decomposers follow similar life history strategies regardless of taxon. We define four such strategies, providing diverse biological examples and deriving

Leg Paralysis Inducement by Risella 17 Oil in Lucilia sericata (Meig) as Affected by Sex, Time, Application Site, and oil Volume1 [PDF]
Development of leg paralysis induced by Risella 17 oil on Lucilia sericata (Meig.) was found to be significantly affected by sex, time, application site, and oil volume. Male flies were noted to be mrJre susceptible than female flies. In both sexes, more

Microbial effects on the development of forensically important blow fly species [PDF]
Colonisation times and development rates of specific blow fly species are used to estimate the minimum Post Mortem Interval (mPMI). The presence or absence of bacteria on a corpse can potentially affect the development and survival of blow fly larvae ...

Versatile roles of disordered transcription factor effector domains in transcriptional regulation
Disordered effector domains (EDs) of transcription factors (TFs) play versatile roles in transcriptional regulation. These include mediating protein–protein interactions with protein complexes like, facilitating condensate formation to enhance transcriptional efficiency, modulating DNA‐binding specificity through genome scanning, and serving as hubs ...

Divergent Genetic Pathways Underlying Convergent Parasitic Behaviours in Blowflies
ABSTRACT Blowfly (Diptera: Calliphoridae) exhibit diverse feeding strategies, with most species developing on decomposing organic matter. However, parasitism has evolved within the family, and some species convergently gained the ability to explore the tissues of living vertebrate hosts, which imposes critical veterinary, medical, and agricultural ...

Carrion‐breeding flies of Australia and New Zealand: A review and key to adults
Abstract Carrion‐breeding flies are diverse with over 70 species in the Australasian/Oceanian region, predominantly from the families Calliphoridae and Sarcophagidae. These flies play crucial roles in ecosystems as primary decomposers, pollinators and food sources for a variety of predators and parasites.
