Background The flesh fly, Sarcophaga peregrina (Diptera: Sarcophagidae), is an important
hygiene pest, that causes myiasis in humans and other mammals, typically livestock, and as …

Forensic entomology uses the age of insects, such as blow flies, to determine a minimum
post-mortem interval (PMImin). Recent research has focused on using the analysis of …

Abstract Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius, 1794)(Diptera: Calliphoridae), is a blowfly
species widely studied in medical, veterinary, and entomological research. Our study …

Simple Summary The precise pupal age estimates of S. peregrina are significant for
estimating the minimum postmortem interval (PMImin) in forensic investigations. In the …

Empty puparia, remnants of blow fly larvae cuticles, aid in estimating long-term post-mortem
intervals. Assessing alterations in cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) composition provides …

Simple Summary Constant and fluctuating temperatures can affect the growth and
development of insects, which will affect the accuracy of minimum postmortem interval …

Simple Summary The weathering time of cuticular hydrocarbons from the puparium could
assist in estimating the postmortem interval (PMI) of decomposed corpses. However, the …

Simple Summary Sarcophaga crassipalpis Macquart, 1839 (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) is a
flesh fly species of medical, veterinary, and forensic importance. It is often used in the …

Chemical cues and signals, especially in insects, play a pivotal role in mediating interactions
between individuals. Past studies have largely focused on adult semiochemicals and have …

Chitinases play a crucial role in insect metamorphosis by facilitating chitin degradation.
