Recovery of male DNA acquired from carrion‐feeding insects in a simulated sexual assault scenario

Journal of Forensic Sciences, Volume 71, Issue 4, Page 1576-1591, July 2026.
Abstract When bodies of sexual assault victims are discovered in advanced stages of decomposition, the recovery of direct DNA evidence is often compromised, posing a challenge in criminal investigations. This study aimed to determine insect colonization and succession patterns on pig carcasses inoculated with semen and to assess the feasibility of ...

A systematic review of efficacy on larva debridement in diabetic foot ulcers

Healthcare in Low-resource Settings
Larva therapy, also known as maggot therapy, biodebridement, or maggot debridement therapy, involved the application of live fly larva to a patient’s wound for debridement, disinfection, and wound healing.

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

TAXON, 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.

Effects of Floral Scent, Color and Pollen on Foraging Decisions and Oocyte Development of Common Green Bottle Flies. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
The common green bottle fly Lucilia sericata (Meigen) and other filth flies frequently visit pollen-rich composite flowers such as the Oxeye daisy, Leucanthemum vulgare Lam. In laboratory experiments with L.

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

Entomologia 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.

Shrubs and trees as natural insect protection for grazing animals in Switzerland and the alpine region: A systematic review of in vitro, in vivo and clinical trials Sträucher und Bäume als natürlicher Insektenschutz für Weidetiere in der Schweiz und im Alpenraum: Eine systematische Literaturübersicht über in vitro‐, in vivo‐ und klinische Studien

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 221-245, June 2026.
Biting or irritating insects are a threat to the health and welfare of grazing animals. This systematic review reveals that several shrubs and bushes growing in the alpine area have insecticidal, insect‐repellent and/or attractant properties. The alder Alnus glutinosa, juniper Juniperus communis, spruce Picea abies and walnut Juglans regia are ...

Evaluation of the efficacy of novel, meat-free and easily sterilisable artificial diet for mass rearing of Lucilia sericata (Diptera: Calliphoridae) larvae for medical applications

European Journal of Entomology
Medically significant Lucilia sericata larvae lack a standardised, reproducible, animal tissue-free, and sterilisable diet for rearing. In this study, we developed and evaluated a diet made from dried milk, protein powder, cholesterol, amino acids, and ...
