Sex Chromosome Evolution in Blow Flies
… good example of such a system are insects in the blow fly family Calliphoridae. While cytogenetic studies observe that the karyotype in blow flies is highly conserved (five pairs of autosomal chromosomes and one pair sex chromosome), there is variation in sex determining mechanisms and sex …

DNA barcoding of forensically important blow flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) within the Western Cape of South Africa
In forensic entomology, determining species identity is a crucial step towards estimating post mortem interval. DNA barcoding can aid in the identification of unknown forensically relevant species, and this requires the comparison of DNA barcodes to reference data from known species. However, there …

Identification of morphologically similar species of necrophagous flies (diptera: calliphoridae) in Oklahoma : reliability and application of techniques in a forensic setting.
… of taxonomic keys for carrion-associating blow flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) has greatly enhanced the field of forensic entomology by facilitating identification of species often associated with crime scenes. Keys for morphological identification of blow flies have been developed and …

Microbial succession in human rib skeletal remains and fly-human microbial transfer during decomposition
… dissertation focuses on the influence of the blow fly (Calliphoridae) microbiome on human cadaver microbial community assembly. In early decomposition, volatiles attract blow flies to the cadaver, which serves as a source of nutrients and a safe place to lay eggs. It is likely that during this …

The influence of Methylphenidate on the development of the forensically significant blow fly Chrysomya chloropyga (Diptera: Calliphoridae) in the Western Cape Province
… entomotoxicological data on MPH generated for blow flies local to the Western Cape, South Africa.

Entomological examination of the relationship between ante-mortem and post-mortem amitriptyline concentrations in insects
… and growth rate of forensically important blow flies, and to investigate the potential in using blow fly larvae of the Western Cape, South Africa in forensic entomotoxicological analyses and future implementation. To achieve this blow fly species C. chloropyga and L. sericata were reared on …

DNA barcoding of forensically important flies in the Western Cape
… the body. As first colonisers, Calliphoridae (blow flies) are often used by forensic entomologists to determine the PMI however, developmental rates of visiting fauna differ substantially which makes correct species identification vital. Traditional methods of identification which assign …
