Background Correct species identification of blow flies is a crucial step for understanding
their biology, which can be used not only for designing fly control programs, but also to …

Predicting how species will respond to selection pressures requires understanding the
factors that constrain their evolution. We use genome engineering of Drosophila to …

Correct identification of forensically important insects, such as flies in the family
Calliphoridae, is a crucial step for them to be used as evidence in legal investigations …

Blow flies are of medical, sanitary, veterinary, and forensic importance. Their accurate
taxonomic identification is essential for their use in applied research. However, neotropical …

Utilizing insects in legal investigations as a tool for estimating forensically important
timelines (eg, minimum post-mortem interval (min-PMI)) is becoming more commonly used …

The order Diptera is remarkably diverse, not only in species but in morphological variation in
every life stage, making them excellent candidates for phylogenetic analysis. Such analysis …

Abstract Connecticut and the Northeastern United States in general, lacks forensically
relevant entomological survey data. To determine which forensically relevant calliphorid …

An extensive literature search pertaining to forensic entomology research was conducted for
the southwestern portion of the United States (Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas) …

Species identification with DNA barcodes has been proven to be effective on different
organisms and, particularly, has become a routinely used and quite accurate tool in forensic …

Determining range expansion for insect species is vital in order to evaluate their impact on
