| [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 |
| distribution and abundance of necrophagous flies (diptera: calliphoridae and sarcophagidae) in maranhão, northeastern brazil. | this study aimed at surveying the local calliphorid and sarcophagid species in maranhão state (brazil) to determine their distribution and abundance, as well as the distribution of exotic chrysomya species. in total, 18,128 calliphorid specimens were collected, distributed in 7 genera and 14 species. the species hemilucilia semidiaphana (rondani, 1850) and paralucilia paraensis (mello, 1969) were new state records. chrysomya albiceps (wiedemann, 1819) and cochliomyia macellaria (f., 1775) were t ... | 2015 | 26078304 |
| 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 |
| evaluating the effects of different vegetation types on necrophagous fly communities (diptera: calliphoridae; sarcophagidae): implications for conservation. | the present study was conducted in five different phytogeographic zones of the brazilian state of maranhão, three of which (the amazon forest, cerrado, and palm groves) are more heterogeneous, whereas the other two (marshlands and mangroves) are more homogeneous. in each zone, nine sites were visited for the collection of necrophagous flies using bait traps in 2010, 2011, and 2012. the calliphorid and sarcophagid communities observed at each site were compared in terms of species richness, compo ... | 2016 | 27798664 |
| composition, abundance and richness of sarcophagidae (diptera: oestroidea) in forests and forest gaps with different vegetation cover. | this study was carried out in the base operacional geólogo pedro de moura (bogpm) in the urucu river basin, coari, state of amazonas, brazil, during april, june, and october 2007, in 16 areas, 4 in primary forests (environment mt) and 12 in gaps (environments c1, c2, and c3) at different stages of vegetation recovery, with different plant cover height. we collected 3,547 specimens of flesh flies. the 3,525 individuals identified to species level included 10 genera, 6 subgenera, and 23 species. s ... | 2011 | 21437478 |
| 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 |
| [larvae-pupae parasitoids of hylesia metabus cramer (lepidoptera: saturniidae) in northeastern venezuela: a case of natural biological control]. | the moth hylesia metabus cramer is considered a public health pest due to the release of urticating hairs by adult females during periodic invasions of towns and villages, producing dermatits in humans. we reported natural parasitism levels for this moth during six life cycles in two localities in northeastern venezuela. pupae were collected in the field and maintained under laboratory conditions (27 masculinec, 65% rh, 12l:12d photoperiod) until eclosion. in mapire, parasitism increased from 33 ... | 2009 | 19488514 |
| 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 |
