Flies are diverse models for studying the evolution of the parasitic habit. With 1,256 described species, blow flies (family Calliphoridae) are an ideal candidate for comparative study of the genetic and behavioral determinants of feeding adaptations. Based on feeding habits of their larvae, blow flies are classified as either: 1) necrosaprophagous, which feed on decomposing tissue; 2) fa…
Insects and other arthropods, when associated with decaying corpses, can assist the progress or conclusion of an investigative process. The main applications within the forensic sciences relate to estimate the postmortem interval (PMI), to infer if a corpse was displacement, and to investigate possible cause of the death. To define these parameters, taxonomic identification is essential, …
Calliphoridae (Insecta, Diptera, Oestroidea) is a family of flies with more than 1,500 species distributed worldwide and at least 70 with occurrence in neotropics. It has been intriguingly observed that closely related calliphorid species have very different feeding habits. The interest in studying the evolution of feeding habits in these Diptera, in particular, is due to the appearance o…
Calliphoridae, also known as blow flies, gain importance in public and animal health considering that several species can be mechanical vectors of a wide range of pathogens since they frequent inhospitable environments; additionally, some species are parasites (Marcondes and Thyssen, 2017). It has been observed that closely related blow fly species have very different eating habits. The i…
Calliphoridae (Insecta, Diptera, Oestroidea) is a family of flies with more than 1,500 species distributed worldwide and at least 70 occur in the Neotropical region. Most calliphorids are necrophagous, so the association of their immatures from the first hours after death to more advanced stages of cadaveric decomposition has been commonly reported. In the forensic field, information abou…

Of the more than 1,500 known blowfly species (Diptera, Oestroidea, Calliphoridae), at least 70 have been recorded in the Neotropics. Most of these species are necrophagous, commonly associated with decaying corpses. In the forensic field, correct species identification is essential for reliable access to biological information, which may help to estimate the time of death. New approaches …
