| [behavior of caliptrate diptera in relation to oviposition substrates under laboratory conditions in rio de janeiro, rj, brazil]. | how adult females of calyptrate diptera recognize the appropriate breeding substrate is a matter of controversy. among holometabolic insects, the feeding opportunities of immature stages are generally determined by the adult female choice of an oviposition site. the ovipositional and larvipositional substrate preference for the synanthropic flies (chrysomya megacephala, c. putoria, phaenicia cuprina: calliphoridae; atherigona orientalis, synthesiomyia nudiseta: muscidae; ravinia belforti, parasa ... | 1996 | 8734963 |
| [trophic niches in calyptrate diptera in rio de janeiro, rj]. | niche breadth and niche overlap of flies were estimated. the flies were breeding in different environments in rio de janerio (rural, urban and forest). it were used as a larvae substrate: banana mashed, mouse carcass, fish (sardine), bovine liver, shrimp and fresh human faeces. it were bred 14,294 flies, belonging to four families: calliphoridae, fanniidae, muscidae and sarcophagidae. the greater niche overlap values observed were: rural area: phaenicia cuprina versus chrysomya megacephala; urba ... | 1998 | 9987210 |
| 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 |
