Sex-biased captures of sarcosaprophagous Diptera in carrion-baited traps. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Insect Sci, 2013
The use of carrion-baited traps is a common and widely extended practice in the study of sarcosaprophagous Diptera. However, it implies different areas of bias, one of them being the different responses of males and females to carrion bait, which results

Artificial Pond Habitats Placed in an Australian Berry Farm Support Invertebrate Diversity Including Pollinating Flies. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
This study investigated whether small, artificial ponds deployed within a commercial farm can function as microhabitats supporting diverse invertebrate communities. We recorded 40 invertebrate taxa from nine orders utilising the ponds, including honey bees, lady beetles and spiders, as well as three species of eristaline hoverflies.

Study of Mitogenomes Provides Implications for the Phylogenetics and Evolution of the Infraorder Muscomorpha in Diptera. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
This study comparatively analyzed the mitogenome characteristics of 131 species that represent 18 superfamilies in Muscomorpha, in which mitogenomes of 16 species are newly sequenced and annotated herein. Further, we deduced their phylogenetics using maximum likelihood, and discussed their divergence time and evolution combined with taxonomy and ...

Musculature of the male genitalia in Rivellia (Diptera: Platystomatidae). [PDF]

open access: yesZookeys, 2015
The musculature of male genitalia was studied hitherto only in two species of Tephritidae, one species of Platystomatidae, one species of Pallopteridae, and three species of Ulidiidae of the superfamily Tephritoidea. The split of the hypandrium from one structure into three (the hypandrium and two lateral sclerites) is traced.

Does Faeces Excreted by Moxidectin-Treated Sheep Impact Coprophagous Insects and the Activity of Soil Microbiota in Subtropical Pastures? [PDF]

open access: yesScientifica (Cairo)
Moxidectin (MOX) is used to control helminth parasites in ruminant livestock. It is released through feces and remains in the environment for a long period. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of faeces excreted by moxidectin‐treated sheep on soil biodiversity (coprophagous insects, soil microbial biomass, and activity) to establish environment ...

Identity of Species Assigned to the Genus Cephalia (Diptera, Tephritoidea)

open access: yesZoodiversity, 2022
The taxonomy of the genus Cephalia Meigen, 1826 has hitherto been confused. This paper comprises a review of the 13 nominal species assigned to the genus Cephalia to date. Of these, C. nigripes Meigen, 1826 has previously been considered a junior synonym

Network analysis with either Illumina or MinION reveals that detecting vertebrate species requires metabarcoding of iDNA from a diverse fly community

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 23, Page 6418-6435, December 2023., 2023
Abstract DNA obtained from invertebrates (iDNA) can be metabarcoded in order to survey vertebrate communities. However, little attention has been paid to the interaction between the invertebrate and vertebrate species. Here, we tested for specialization by sampling the dung and carrion fly community of a swamp forest remnant along a disturbance ...

Pollen layering and male–male competition: Quantum dots demonstrate that pollen grains compete for space on pollinators

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, Volume 110, Issue 6, June 2023., 2023
Abstract Premise Almost nothing is known about what happens to pollen grains once they attach to pollinators, although some have postulated that pollen from different donors may form complex, two‐ or three‐dimensional landscapes (e.g., layers or mosaics) that can facilitate male–male competition.
