| [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 |
| aphaereta sp. (hymenoptera: braconidae: alysiinae) as a natural enemy to peckia chrysostoma (wiedemann) (diptera: sarcophagidae), in brazil. | this paper reports the first occurence of the parasite aphaereta sp. (hymenoptera: braconidae: alysiinae) which was collected from peckia chrysostoma pupae (diptera: sarcophagidae) by means of traps containing some fish baits in a wood area close to the agronomy college (faculdade of agronomia) in itumbiara, goiás, in the period from march to september, 2001. a total of 362 gregarious specimens of parasitoids from 26 pupae of p. chrysostoma. aphaereta sp. was collected, with several individuals ... | 2003 | 12914428 |
| [parasitoids of muscoids diptera collected at alvorada slaughterhouse in itumbiara, south of goiás, brazil]. | species of parasitoids associated with synanthropic flies were trapped by using chopped bovine liver as bites at slaughterhouse itumbiara in the state of goiás, from march to december 2005. pupae were obtained by removing them from sand, after using liver baits as substract to atract flies. they were individually placed in gelatin capsules until the emergency of the adult flies or their parasitoids. the overall prevalence of parasitism was 15.3%. the frequency, percentage and species of parasito ... | 2007 | 18373902 |
| 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 |
| the potential uses of sarcosaprophagous flesh flies and blowflies for the evaluation of the regeneration and conservation of forest clearings: a case study in the amazon forest. | the level of association between dipterans of the families calliphoridae and sarcophagidae and habitats with different levels of vegetation cover was analyzed at porto urucu in coari, amazonas, brazil, with the aim of identifying the potential of these taxa as bioindicators for the assessment of forest regeneration and conservation. the flies were collected in 16 sample areas, 12 of which were clearings at different stages of regeneration (c1--early regeneration; c2--moderate regeneration; and c ... | 2014 | 25502027 |
| multiple colonization of a cadaver by insects in an indoor environment: first record of fannia trimaculata (diptera: fanniidae) and peckia (peckia) chrysostoma (sarcophagidae) as colonizers of a human corpse. | we describe here a case of multiple colonization of a male cadaver found indoors in the municipality of jaboatao dos guararapes, brazil. the body was colonized by six species of diptera: chrysomya albiceps, chrysomya megacephala, chrysomya putoria (calliphoridae), megaselia scalaris (phoridae), fannia trimaculata (fanniidae), and peckia (peckia) chrysostoma (sarcophagidae). the most abundant species were c. albiceps (65.0 % of all emerged adults) and c. megacephala (18.6 %). the case illustrates ... | 2014 | 24218014 |
| synanthropy of sarcophagidae (diptera) in la pintada, antioquia-colombia. | recently, populations of flies have increased in numbers given the elevated levels of organic matter waste produced by anthropic activities and domestication of animals. such increase represents a worldwide health concern, since flies can be vectors of human diseases. the great variety of feeding and developmental habits of flies of the family sarcophagidae taking place on animal corpses, feces and decomposed organic matter make them potential vectors of pathogens. herein, we evaluated the synan ... | 2013 | 24027923 |
| revision of the new world genus peckia roniveau-desvoidy (diptera: sarcophagidae). | the new world and largely neotropical genus peckia robineau-desvoidy, 1830 is revised with a key to all species. peckia is considered a senior synonym of guanoxipha lehrer, 2012, n. syn. and of sarcodexia townsend, 1892, n. syn., the first one under squamatodes curran and the latter maintained as a valid subgenus, which here is redefined giving the new generic combinations peckia (sarcodexia) lambens (wiedemann, 1830), n. comb. and p. (s.) notata (lopes, 1935), n. comb.; and the new subgeneric a ... | 2013 | 25320760 |
| 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 |
