| [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 |

| the mitochondrial dna control region of muscidae flies: evolution and structural conservation in a dipteran context. | the structure and evolution of the mtdna control region (cr) and its flanking genes in economically important dipterans from the family muscidae (brachycera: calyptratae), haematobia irritans, musca domestica, atherigona orientalis, and stomoxys calcitrans are presented in this paper, along with the description of short noncoding intergenic regions possibly related to cr flanking sequences in stomoxys calcitrans and ophyra aenescens mtdnas (scir and oair, respectively). s. calcitrans showed a la ... | 2007 | 17460806 |
| entomofaunal succession patterns on burnt and unburnt rabbit carrion. | the influence of burning on the decomposition of rabbit carcasses and on insect succession was investigated in three different habitats (agricultural, desert, and urban) in order to provide data for estimating the postmortem interval (pmi). each site had six carcasses divided into two groups of three rabbits, with the carcasses in one group being partially burned, while the others were not burned. carrion reached the dry stage within 5 d in the desert and urban habitats and 13 d in the agricultu ... | 2016 | 26673569 |
| transmission of bamboo mosaic virus in bamboos mediated by insects in the order diptera. | bamboo mosaic virus (bamv), a member of the genus potexvirus, is the major threat to bamboo cultivation. similar to most potexviruses, the transmission of bamv by insect vectors has not been documented previously. however, field observations of bamv disease incidences suggested that insect vectors might be involved. in this study, we aimed to investigate the possibility of insect-mediated transmission of bamv among bamboo clumps, in order to provide further insights into the infection cycles of ... | 2017 | 28559888 |
| diversity, daily flight activity and temporal occurrence of necrophagous diptera associated with decomposing carcasses in a semi-arid environment. | the harsh conditions of the brazilian seasonally dry tropical forest known as caatinga pose challenges to the insects specialized in the exploitation of ephemeral resources. we investigated the diversity and daily flight activity of dipterans associated with decomposing rat carcasses in a field experiment performed in the semi-arid region of pernambuco state, brazil. we also analyzed the temporal arrival of adult insects on the carcasses at three stages of decomposition: early, intermediate, and ... | 2017 | 28752298 |
| larval morphology of atherigona orientalis (schiner) (diptera: muscidae) -a species of sanitary and forensic importance. | larval morphology is documented using both light and scanning electron microscopy for all three instars of the muscid fly atherigona orientalis (schiner), which is a species of known sanitary and forensic importance found in tropical and subtropical areas of all biogeographic regions. the unpaired sclerite in a form of a spicule is reported herein in the second and the third instar larvae. occurrence of this sclerite was hitherto unknown in the second instar larvae of muscidae and was only known ... | 2014 | 24907461 |
