population dynamics of calyptrate diptera (muscidae and sarcophagidae) at the rio-zoo foundation, rio de janeiro, rj, brazil.	twenty-seven species of calyptrate muscoids (muscidae and sarcophagidae) were collected from december 1993 to november 1994 with wind oriented traps (w.o.t.) baited with decomposing beef liver at the rio de janeiro zoo. the most abundant species found were musca domestica (57.84%), peckia chrysostoma (28.16%), ophyra aenescens (17.11%), oxysarcodexia thornax (17.82%), synthesiomyia nudiseta (13.05%), and oxysarcodexia diana (14.52%).	2002	12489391
isolation of fungi in musca domestica linnaeus, 1758 (diptera: muscidae) captured at two natural breeding grounds in the municipality of serop dica, rio de janeiro, brazil.	the objective of this study was to isolate and identify fungal species found in natural association with adults of musca domestica. the adult insects were collected from two natural breeding grounds: hog pens and an urban sanitary landfill. the isolated fungi were identified as: aspergillus flavus (23.8%), a. niger var. niger (14.4%), penicillium corylophilum (21.4%), p. fellutanum (11.9%), cladosporium cladosporoides (4.7%), fusarium sp.
