Fat body (FB) acts as a major metabolic center important for the regulation of a variety of physiological processes such as embryogenesis, reproduction, flight, overwintering, protection, and communication. Lipid amounts and fatty acid (FA) composition vary with species, stage of life, and their diet.

Abstract Forensic entomology is crucial in medicolegal investigations, utilizing insects—primarily flies—to estimate a supplemental post‐mortem interval based on their development at the (death) scene. This estimation can be influenced by extrinsic factors like temperature and humidity, as well as intrinsic factors such as species and sex.

ABSTRACT Short‐tongued saprophilous flies are a diverse but under‐appreciated group of pollinators, which are particularly important for flowers in the subtribe Stapeliinae (Apocynaceae‐Asclepiadoideae‐Ceropegieae). This clade of plants is characterised by repeated shifts between tubular kettle‐trap and open non‐trap flowers and chemical mimicry (of ...

Vulture Exclusion Halves Large Carcass Decomposition Rates and Doubles Fly Abundance
We experimentally excluded vultures from pig carcasses (Sus scrofa) in Costa Rica, under different habitats and across seasons with the aim to assess the impact of vulture population decline on carrion decomposition and insect abundance. Vulture exclusion halved carcass decomposition rates and doubled fly abundance, while dung beetle abundance remained

A checklist of arthropods associated with pig carrion and human corpses in Southeastern Brazil
Necrophagous insects, mainly Diptera and Coleoptera, are attracted to specific stages of carcass decomposition, in a process of faunistic succession. They are very important in estimating the postmortem interval, the time interval between the death and ...
