Angling Entomology: Basics for Fly Fishermen

Angling for Thyroid Answers

Levels of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) measured in human samples have increased in recent years, but the health effects of these compounds are not well studied. A group of persistent pol­ lutants similar in structure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), PBDEs are thought to affect endocrine function, but this relation­ ship has only been examined in several small studies. A new study ...

A model for the aging of fly larvae in forensic entomology.

A method is described for determining the time of hatching of blowfly larvae on a corpse with respect to temperature. Temperature is known to have a profound effect on the rate of growth of fly larvae, and it is suggested that past assumptions that the growth of larvae found in a corpse has taken place at one approximated ambient temperature may have led to large overestimates of the developmen...

VETERINARY ENTOMOLOGY Selection for Resistance to Imidacloprid in the House Fly (Diptera: Muscidae)

The house ßy,Musca domestica L. (Diptera: Muscidae), continues to be a primary pest of livestock facilities worldwide. This pest also has shown a propensity for pesticide resistance development when under high selection pressures. In this study the house ßy strain FDmwas created by a 20% contribution from each of Þve colonies collected from dairies in Florida with known imidacloprid resistance....
