[dipterans of forensic interest in two vegetation profiles of cerrado in uberlândia, state of minas gerais, brazil].	carrion breeding insects may be of great utility in crimes briefing. studies on forensic entomology are restricted to few localities in brazil and very few of them were done in the cerrado vegetation (a type of savannah) until now. this work aimed to survey the main species of dipterans associated with the decomposition process of sus scrofa and the insect succession pattern in carcasses in the cerrado. the study was carried out in the dry and humid season of the year, in two cerrado vegetation ...	2009	20098935
cuticular hydrocarbons as a tool for the identification of insect species: puparial cases from sarcophagidae.	the external surface of all insects is covered by a species-specific complex mixture of highly stable, very long chain cuticular hydrocarbons (chcs). gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry was used to identify chcs from four species of sarcophagidae, peckia (peckia) chrysostoma, peckia (pattonella) intermutans, sarcophaga (liopygia) ruficornis and sarcodexia lambens. the identified chcs were mostly a mixture of n-alkanes, monomethylalkanes and dimethylalkanes with linear chain lengths v ...	2013	23932943
synanthropy of sarcophagidae (diptera) in southeastern brazil.	sarcophagidae (diptera) are potential vectors of several pathogens. they are also very important in forensic entomology, providing basic information on the circumstances of death. the objective of this study was to determine the synanthropic index of adult sarcophagidae collected in rio claro, state of são paulo, southeastern brazil. sampling occurred between september 2009 and august 2010. traps baited with sardines, beef liver, or minced meat were set for five consecutive days per month in thr ...	2016	27283176
dna-based identification of forensically important species of sarcophagidae (insecta: diptera) from rio de janeiro, brazil.	sarcophagidae, or flesh flies, are of great importance in forensic entomology, but their effective application requires precise taxonomic identification, which relies almost exclusively on characteristics of the male genitalia. given that female flies and larvae are most abundant in animal carcasses or on corpses, precise morphological identification can be difficult; therefore, dna sequencing can be an additional tool for use in taxonomic identification. this paper analyzes part of the mitochon ...	2016	27173314
diversity of sarcosaprophagous calyptratae (diptera) on sandy beaches exposed to increasing levels of urbanization in brazil.	sandy beaches are among the most impacted ecosystems worldwide, and the effects of urbanization on the biodiversity of these habitats are largely unknown, particularly in brazil. we investigated the composition and structure of assemblages of sarcosaprophagous insects (diptera: calliphoridae, sarcophagidae, and muscidae) on six sandy beaches exposed to differential levels of human impact in pernambuco state, brazil. in total, 20,672 adults of 40 species were collected, of which 70% were callipho ...	2017	28369231
