measurement of predatory behaviour in cow dung-colonising insect larvae, using compound-specific (13)c-tracing of dietary fatty acids.	studies of the trophic interactions between organisms in opaque environments where direct observation can be difficult, such as soil or leaf litter, often require the use of indirect inferential approaches. here, the use of compound-specific (13)c-tracing of dietary biomarker fatty acids is evaluated as a method for studying predation by larvae of the dung-breeding fly, mesembrina meridiana (diptera: muscidae); the technique was used to differentiate dung from high-enrichment (13)c-labelled prey ...	2012	22844385
influxed insects as vectors for campylobacter jejuni and campylobacter coli in danish broiler houses.	the vector potential of flies (diptera: brachycera) for spread of campylobacter jejuni and campylobacter coli on 5 danish broiler farms was evaluated in a longitudinal field study from april to november 2004. first, the prevalence of c. jejuni- and c. coli-positive flies was determined in 2,816 flies captured from farm surroundings. each individual fly was macerated, preenriched in bolton broth for 24 h at 42 degrees c, streaked onto modified campylobater blood-free selective agar and incubated ...	2008	18577626
