Abstract We review the species of Megaselia similar to sulphurizona Borgmeier. A close examination M. indicates that its current concept includes at least 16 species, 15 which— albizona, borealizona, colombizona, cryptizona, danizona, guanizona, marizona, nivizona, oklizona, paulizona, reductizona, solizona, tropizona, wendizona, and winnizona are described as new, based primarily on molecular ...

in the course of studying the saprophagous flies of kermanshah province, the larvae of drosophila busckii (coquillett) and megaselia scalaris (loew) were collected on the moribund or dead larvae of polyphylla olivieri laporte in the orchards of sahneh during 2008-2009. the adult specimens of d. busckii and m. scalaris were identified by dr. diseny (university of cambridge) and dr. baechli (univ...

In this paper we propose a new approach to point scalar multiplication on elliptic curves defined over fields of characteristic greater than 3. It is based on new point addition formulae that suit very well to exponentiation algorithms based on Euclidean addition chains. However finding small chains remains a very difficult problem, so we also develop a specific exponentiation algorithm, based ...

Megaselia scalaris (Loew) is a cosmopolitan and synanthropic scuttle fly, eclectic in its feeding habits and acts as detritivore, parasite, facultative parasite, and parasitoid. Here we report for the first time M. scalaris infesting laboratory colonies of Triatoma brasiliensis Neiva, the most important Chagas disease vector in semiarid areas of Brazil. M. scalaris larvae were found feeding ins...

The ultrastructure of the first and second-instar larvae of Megaselia scalaris (Loew) was studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Significant changes in morphological features were observed in the anterior and posterior spiracles, but only minimal changes in the labium and mouthhooks were seen. The ultrastructure of M. scalaris larvae not only provides chronological transformation of ...

in this paper, by modifying cheng-yau$'$s technique to complete hypersurfaces in $s^{n+1}(1)$, we prove a rigidity theorem under the hypothesis of the mean curvature and the normalized scalar curvature being linearly related which improve the result of [h. li, hypersurfaces with constant scalar curvature in space forms, {em math. ann.} {305} (1996), 665--672].

Scuttle flies (Diptera: Phoridae) are small-sized insects of forensic importance. They are well known for diversified species and habitats, but in the context of forensic entomology, scuttle flies' inhabitance of corpses remains inadequately explored. With recent reports indicating the existence of more scuttle fly species possibly inhabiting these environments, a decomposition study using anim...
