Major Lineages of Shore Flies (Diptera: Ephydridae) and the Resultant Subfamilial Classification

Annales Zoologici, 2023
Apomorphies of the family Ephydridae and its monophyly are discussed. Revised interpretation of the male terminalia is proposed and the variability of adult proboscis is presented. Apomorphies of adults mouthparts are resulted from adaptations to microphagy, mining or algal consumption and well reflect relations among major clades.

Biology of Shore Flies

Annual Review of Entomology, 1995
Information is given on the habitat distribution, larval feeding habits, and economic roles of the dipterous family Ephydridae. This family has broad ecological tolerances and is commonly encountered in such physiologically stressful habitats as oil pools, inland alkaline and saline marshes, hot springs, and cold thermal springs, and coastal salt ...

Viability of Oomycete Propagules Following Ingestion and Excretion by Fungus Gnats, Shore Flies, and Snails [PDF]

Plant Disease, 2009
Sporangia of Phytophthora capsici and P. nicotianae, as well as hyphal swellings of Pythium splendens, P. sylvaticum, and P. ultimum, were ingested by adult shore flies but none were viable after passing through the digestive tract. Oospores of Pythium aphanidermatum retained their viability following ingestion by adult shore flies.

Shore Flies (Insecta: Diptera: Ephydridae) of Plummers Island, Maryland

Bulletin of the Biological Society of Washington, 2008
ABSTRACT Twenty-nine species of shore flies in 17 genera have been collected and identified from Plummers Island. Although relatively diverse, the shore-fly fauna known from the Island represents only 21% of the species known from the surrounding states, indicating that we probably are dealing with sampling error and that many more species are likely ...

Effect of hydrogen peroxide on algal growth, cucumber seedlings and the reproduction of shore flies (Scatella stagnalis) in rockwool

Crop Protection, 1998
Abstract A range of hydrogen peroxide concentrations was tested to reduce the growth of green algae on rockwool with cucumber seedlings as the crop. A single application of 1 dl of 125 ppm hydrogen peroxide to 1-week-old seedlings or daily applications over 3 weeks of 1 dl of 100 ppm peroxide reduced algal growth by 40–60% for 1 week, resulting in 73–
