“…(2020) observed a similar lack of habitat specialisation in L. illustris but mentioned that their sample of this species may have been too small to identify trends. The low abundance of the other Luciliinae, L. magnicornis and L. silvarum (Meigen), may be due to proximity from human settlements, the two species being recognised as asynanthrope (Artamonov, 2012).…”

“…Since most Luciliinae recovered during our study associated with summer, and that some corresponding species have been shown to appreciate sunny conditions (Lutz et al ., 2019), it is possible that the shady, forest conditions of our area are not optimal for any species of this subfamily. A second hypothesis is that the species of this subfamily that are adapted to such habitats are extreme asynanthropes (Artamonov, 2012) that did not thrive this close to civilization. As the sole common species of his tribe and subfamily, P. regina apparently filled the role of the ubiquitous generalist species, being relatively abundant in all habitats and seasons, and demonstrating much more plasticity in its exploitation patterns.…”

1. Sarcosaprophagous flies from the Calliphoridae family provide clues about the circumstances of death in criminal investigations, and apparently occupy the same ecological niche because they depend on the same ephemeral resource, namely, carrion. 2. An empirical study was conducted in southeastern New Brunswick, Canada to identify differences in Hutchinsonian hypervolume/ecological niche that allow for competitive coexistence of calliphorid species. To do this, calliphorids were trapped for a calendar year in urban, periurban, and forest habitats. 3. About 20 576 calliphorid specimens distributed among 14 different species were collected. The composition of species assemblages changed with seasons, abiotic factors, habitats, and was related to the evolutionary history of species. Each species had a distinct centroid when their response to study variables was illustrated in canonical space, thus suggesting that their ecological niches differed. 4. Examining the Hutchinsonian hypervolumes of these forensically important insects is critical because it expands our knowledge of the factors regulating the activity of calliphorid species, thereby increasing our ability to use these insects in forensic investigations.

“…Aldrichina grahami (Aldrich 1930, Diptera: Calliphoridae) is a forensically important species that is mainly distributed in Asia, but it has also been reported to appear in Russia, Mexico and the United States of America [6,7,8,9]. Adults of A. grahami rarely aggregate indoors, and commonly colonize garbage, feces and carcasses [9].…”

Necrophagous fly species are commonly used as forensic tools to estimate the minimum postmortem interval (PMImin). Many researchers raised necrophagous flies under constant temperature regimes to collect their developmental data. However, in most forensic cases, the ambient temperature fluctuates. In order to investigate a forensically important fly developmental mode (the Isomegalen diagram, Isomorphen diagram and Thermal summation models) and make comparisons of the developmental rate between constant temperatures and fluctuating temperatures, we used Aldrichina grahami (Diptera: Calliphoridae) to investigate the life history parameters at eight constant temperatures ranging from 8 to 36 °C. We also compared developmental rate of A. grahami in three groups of constant versus fluctuating temperatures: 8 °C vs. 6–12 °C, 12 °C vs. 10–16 °C, and 16 °C vs. 14–20 °C. Our data showed that A. grahami is cold tolerant with a mean (±SE) development threshold temperature (D0) of 3.41 ± 0.48 °C and a thermal summation constant (K) of 8125.2 ± 288.4-degree hours. The three groups subjected to fluctuating temperatures took longer to develop compared to those developing in constant temperatures when simulated in a model. These results not only provide detailed developmental data for the use of A. grahami in the estimation of the PMI, but also indicate that ambient temperature fluctuation must be taken into consideration for the use of all necrophagous fly species.

“…Lucilia sericata es un díptero con gran importancia ecológica como copronecrófaga de vertebrados (Artamonov 2012), ectoparásita del ganado (Sotiraki y Hall 2012) y por su relación con la transmisión mecánica de agentes patógenos como bacterias, protozoos y virus (Sotiraki y Hall 2012). Además, ha sido utilizada en entomología forense por ser una de las primeras especies en colonizar cuerpos en descomposición (Figueroa y Linhares 2002;Saigusa et al 2009;Segura et al 2009).…”

Lucilia sericata (Diptera: Calliphoridade) es una mosca copronecrófaga, de gran importancia a nivel médico, veterinario, forense y ecológico por su papel en procesos de descomposición. En insectos diurnos, la visión al igual que el olfato es fundamental para ubicarse espacialmente. En este trabajo se evaluó bajo condiciones de laboratorio la respuesta de los ojos compuestos y la atracción que ejercen diferentes longitudes de onda sobre L. sericata a nivel comportamental y electrofisiológico. Las respuestas electrofisiológicas a diferentes longitudes de onda de luz fueron determinadas por medio de electrorretinogramas del ojo compuesto en ambos sexos. Los resultados muestran visión dicromática con picos máximos en longitudes de onda correspondientes al azul (450 nm) y verde (510-530 nm). A nivel comportamental, se determinó por medio de un túnel de luz de decisión doble en forma de T la atracción de machos y hembras a fuentes de luz emitidas en azul, rojo y blanco a diferentes intensidades (0,34; 0,15 y 0,034 μW/cm2). Los experimentos comportamentales mostraron que ambos sexos son atraídos en su orden por fuentes de luz azul, blanco y rojas. Además, se encontró que la atracción hacia las fuentes luminosas disminuye en la medida que se disminuye la intensidad de los estímulos, pero manteniendo el rango de atracción diferencial a las distintas longitudes de onda evaluadas. La complementariedad de los resultados electrofisiológicos y comportamentales obtenidos en laboratorio nos permite sugerir que L. sericataen condiciones de campo debe interactuar con su entorno ecológico utilizando principalmente aquellas longitudes de onda visible reflejadas en la naturaleza.
