Gender-Specific Differences in Spatial Behavior of the Flesh Fly, <em>Sarcophaga crassipalpis</em>.
<p>Territoriality in the flesh fly, <em>Sarcophaga crassipalpis</em> (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) was studied in the laboratory. In rectangular enclosures, male flies exhibited a lower tolerance (occupation of the same physical space) of same-sex conspecifics than did female flies. In circular arenas, …

Differential Expression of Genes During Diapause in the Flesh Fly, <em>Sarcophaga crassipalpis</em>.
<p>The objective of this study was to identify genes that are differentially regulated during diapause when compared with nondiapausing pupae in <em>Sarcophaga crassipalpis</em>. The results of a Suppression Subtractive Hybridization procedure was used to indentify genes that are differentially …

Biogenic Amine Levels Correlate with Time of Day, Age, Light Cycle, and Aggressive State in the Flesh Fly, Sarcophaga crassipalpis
… of behaviors, including aggression. The flesh fly, <em>Sarcophaga crassipalpis</em>, was used to investigate ontogenetic and circadian changes in amines and aggression. Heads of male flies were analyzed for amine content using high performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical …

Expression, Cloning, and Sequencing of Putative Insulin Signaling Genes Involved in Diapause in the Flesh Fly <em>Sarcophaga crassipalpis</em>.
<p>Diapause is a programmed developmental arrest that allows insects to survive harsh environmental conditions. The diapause state has been linked to the insulin signaling pathway. Insulin signaling has been associated with many physiological processes including aging. It is a working hypothesis …

A single AKH neuropeptide activating three different fly AKH-receptors: an insecticide study via computational methods
… by adipokinetic hormones (AKHs). The fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, the flesh fly, Sarcophaga crassipalpis, and the oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis all have the same AKH that is present in the blowfly, Phormia terraenovae; this AKH has the code-name Phote-HrTH. Binding of the …

Engineering Resistance to <i>Orobanche</i> <i>aegyptiaca</i>: Evidence of Sarcotoxin IA as an Anti-Parasite Protein and Macromolecule Movement From Host to Parasite
… IA, an anti-microbial peptide from the flesh fly (<i>Sarcophaga peregrina</i>). To address the first objective, transgenic plants expressing GFP localized to either the host cell cytosol (symplast) or secreted to the extra-cellular space (apoplast) were parasitized by <i>O. …
