Tachinidae (Diptera) as Floral Visitors and Pollinators in Natural and Managed Systems

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We review the roles of bristle flies (Tachinidae) as pollinators in natural and managed systems. We find that most tachinid genera visit flowers and that floral‐adapted mouthparts have evolved repeatedly many times in the family. We review patterns of floral specificity and assess the efficacy of tachinids as pollinators with case studies.

The complete mitochondrial genome of the flesh fly, Sarcophaga impatiens Walker (Diptera: Sarcophagidae)

, 2012
Approximately 2500 fly species comprise the Sarcophagidae family worldwide. The complete mitochondrial genome of the carrion-breeding, forensically important Sarcophaga impatiens Walker (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) from Australia was sequenced. The 15,169 bp

Tiny but mighty: Insects can drive carrion decomposition in the absence of facultative vertebrate scavengers

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Scavengers play a key role in recycling animal biomass, yet the relative contributions of insects and vertebrates to this process remain poorly understood. Moreover, understanding whether one scavenger group can compensate for the absence of another is critical for predicting how carrion decomposition may respond to changes in community ...

The complete mitochondrial genome of Sarcophaga angarosinica (Diptera: Sarcophagidae)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources
Sarcophaga (Liosarcophaga) angarosinica (Rohdendorf, 1937) (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) is a species of both medical and ecological significance. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of S. angarosinica was sequenced and characterized.

First record of the forensically important genus Protopiophila Duda (Diptera: Piophilidae) from South Korea and an integrative framework for forensic identification

Journal of Forensic Sciences, Volume 71, Issue 5, Page 2405-2414, September 2026.
Abstract The family Piophilidae is of significant forensic importance due to its association with late‐stage decomposition; however, the Korean piophilid fauna remains poorly studied, lacking comprehensive morphological and molecular data. This study reports the first record of the genus Protopiophila Duda from South Korea.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Sarcophaga tuberosa (Diptera: Sarcophagidae)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
Sarcophaga tuberosa has certain sanitary and epidemiological significance and takes proteins from decaying matter. In this study, we first sequenced and analyzed the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of S. tuberosa.

Fish Mass Mortality Events Trigger Energy Transfer via Invertebrate‐Mediated Pathways at the Aquatic–Terrestrial Interface

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Animal mass mortality events are increasing under global change, generating large and unpredictable pulses of carrion that can influence ecosystem functioning. Although scavenger dynamics at individual carcasses are relatively well understood, little is known about how terrestrial vertebrate and invertebrate assemblages exploit large carrion ...

Comparative efficacy and studies of mode of action of minerals from diatoms against three species of filth flies

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 478-488, September 2026.
Mortality for diatomaceous earth was observed as early as 2 h after exposure with 50% and 90% mortality at 3.5 and 4.6 h (LT50 and LT90, respectively) for Musca domestica. The LT50 and LT90 increased when the size of the fly species increased (M. domestica to Cochliomyia macellaria to Sarcophaga bullata) and increased for all three from 50 to 70 ...
