Novel use of a servosphere to study apodous insects: Investigation of blow fly post-feeding larval dispersal. [PDF]
Med Vet EntomolA servosphere was used to record the speed, directionality and phototaxis of individual post‐feeding larvae of two species of blow fly (Diptera: Calliphoridae) on a smooth plastic surface over time. The servosphere rotates to compensate for the movement of an insect placed at its apex, thereby facilitating its unimpeded locomotion in any direction and ...

A checklist of arthropods associated with pig carrion and human corpses in Southeastern Brazil
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2000 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 ...

Tree species diversity increases the temporal stability of multitrophic forest beetle communities
Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.As key members of the terrestrial food webs and vital contributors to wood decomposition, beetles play essential roles in ecosystem services but are experiencing widespread declines under climate change. While protecting and restoring forests with high tree species diversity is widely acknowledged as a nature‐based solution for climate change ...
