Morphological identification of Lucilia sericata, Lucilia cuprina and their hybrids (Diptera, Calliphoridae)
Hybrids of Lucilia sericata and Lucilia cuprina have been shown to exist in previous studies using molecular methods, but no study has shown explicitly that these hybrids can be identified morphologically. Published morphological characters used to identify L. sericata and L. cuprina were reviewed, and then scored and tested using specimens of both species and known hybrids. Ordination by multi...
متن کاملEstimating population densities of the Australian sheep blowfly Lucilia cuprina (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) from catches in wind-oriented traps
An analysis of 2-hourly catches of the blowfly, Lucilia cuprina, in 10 wind-oriented fly traps on 34 trapping days (06.00 – 18.00h) during the period November 1984 – May 1985 indicated that air temperature was the principal factor regulating the number of insects caught. Small but significant effects were associated with radiation, time of day and relative humidity; effects due to wind were not...
متن کاملDevelopment modeling of Lucilia sericata (Diptera: Calliphoridae)
The relationship between insect development and temperature has been well established and has a wide range of uses, including the use of blow flies for postmortem (PMI) interval estimations in death investigations. To use insects in estimating PMI, we must be able to determine the insect age at the time of discovery and backtrack to time of oviposition. Unfortunately, existing development model...
متن کاملSexual development in Lucilia cuprina (Diptera, Calliphoridae) is controlled by the transformer gene.
Insects use an amazing variety of genetic systems to control sexual development. A Y-linked male determining gene (M) controls sex in the Australian sheep blowfly Lucilia cuprina, an important pest insect. In this study, we isolated the L. cuprina transformer (Lctra) and transformer2 (Lctra2) genes, which are potential targets of M. The LCTRA and LCTRA2 proteins are significantly more similar t...
متن کاملPopulation and temperature effects on Lucilia sericata (Diptera: Calliphoridae) body size and minimum development time.
Understanding how ecological conditions influence physiological responses is fundamental to forensic entomology. When determining the minimum postmortem interval with blow fly evidence in forensic investigations, using a reliable and accurate model of development is integral. Many published studies vary in results, source populations, and experimental designs. Accordingly, disentangling genetic...
