Abstract:

Seasonal and circadian activity of scuttle fly assemblages in beech forests and highland scrublands was analysed. The scuttle flies were collected in the Montseny Natural Park (Catalonia, Spain). Seasonal fluctuations and the relation of some meteorological variables were assessed using window traps, emergence traps and pitfall traps, while circadian activity was assessed using water traps and light traps. Scuttle fly density and species richness in both habitats showed an activity peak in July. Diversity peaks were found in spring and autumn in beech forest and in summer in scrublands. Temper

Abstract:

Ecological consequences of fire on the scuttle fly communities were investigated in a pine forest in Poland (Garwolin Forest). Data from 1,243 identifiable individuals, representing 48 species, were used. The scuttle fly communities in fire-affected plots were similar in terms of the number of species but less diverse than those in an undisturbed reference plot. The response of the flies to the fire was species-specific. Four Megaselia species (M. brevicostalis, M. nigriceps, M. elongata and M. obscuripennis) were most numerous in the plot most affected by fire. Approximately three years after

Abstract:

Two hundred and one species of the family have been established on the territory of the Vitosha Mt. The genera Gymnoptera, Peromitra, Plectanocnema and Tubicera have been recorded for the first time on the Balkan Peninsula and Menozziola - in Bulgaria. Sixty-nine species are new for the Balkan Peninsula and additional thirty-two - for Bulgaria. On the basis of the established number of species, it can be concluded that Vitosha Mountain is an area with a significant scuttle fly diversity. Some new data are established about flower visiting of some scuttle fly species.

Abstract:

Scuttle flies (Diptera: Phoridae) are a highly diverse and ecologically important insect group. Their exceptional diversity in life histories, habitat adaptability, and species richness make them invaluable indicators across diverse fields, including biodiversity, ecology, medical, and forensic. While over 130 species from more than 30 genera have been documented in Peninsular Malaysia, the distribution of scuttle flies within urban green spaces remains largely unexplored.

This research was conducted to identify and study the ecology of the parasitoids of termites at Kasetsart University, Kamphaeng Saen Campus, Nakhon Pathom, Thailand.

In order to advance, the known species were reviewed; with the male sex being treated as the primary means of recognition of the species

Abstract:

A male of the scuttle fly genus Puliciphora Dahl was found in a sample from a flight interception trap at Dinefwr Estate NNR, Llandeilo, Wales. This is only the fourth Puliciphora record for Britain and the first outside the Oxford area. Dispersal of members of this genus is limited by the flightless females, which are carried by males a few metres to oviposition sites. It seems likely, therefore, that the Welsh occurrence involved transportation by human activity from another source.

Abstract:

Abstract An infestation of scuttle flies, Megaselia scalaris (Loew, 1866), was found in deteriorating 19th century fluid-preserved specimens contained in a glass tank in the Vertebrate Spirit Store at Oxford University Museum of Natural History. A test showed ethanol levels were inadequate to maintain specimen preservation, and a vast amount of fluid had evaporated, leaving the specimens exposed and in a state of decomposition. The conditions provided a suitable habitat for the infestation and subsequent reproduction of M. scalaris. Here, I provide a method for the removal of M. scalaris from

Abstract:

Numerous well-documented associations occur among species of scuttle flies (Diptera: Phoridae) and ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), but examples of brood parasitism are rare and the mechanisms of parasitism often remain unsubstantiated. We present two video-documented examples of ant brood (larvae and pupae) parasitism by scuttle flies. In footage from Estação Biológica de Boracéia in Brazil, adult females of <i>Ceratoconus setipennis</i> Borgmeier can be seen attacking workers of <i>Linepithema humile</i> (Mayr) species group while they are carrying brood, and ovipositing directly onto brood i

Abstract:

The Phoridae family, which contains approximately 4,000 species in more than 260 genera, is one of the largest families of Diptera ,The scuttle fly have been found in variety of environment, they are associated with late stages of composition . In current study both males and females of Dohrniphora cornuta were collected and identified for the first time from the farms of edible mushrooms in Al-Dwaniya province, central of Iraq. The specimens were studied and identified in laboratories of Sumer university, college of soil and water sources, deposited in 70% ethyl alcohol.

Abstract:

Scuttle fly diversity in disturbed habitats was evaluated on plots in pine plantations of Poland’s Biała Forest. The assemblages present in the two years were assessed for the abundance of species, dominance structure, similarity and species richness, as well as in regard to indices of species diversity, evenness and fidelity. Megaselia brevicostalis was the first dominant on each of the three plots and in both study years. The number of species and their abundance was greatest on the turn of August and September. Most of the dominants and characteristic species are multivoltine, showing sprin

Abstract:

Megaselia scalaris (Diptera: Phoridae), commonly known as scuttle fly, is widely distributed all over the world. It is easily cultured in the laboratory condition making it a potential model organism. Besides, it has forensic importance. However, no report from Bangladesh could be retrieved about this fly. So, in the present study, identification of this species was attempted using both morphological and molecular approaches. Characteristics of male hypopygium and legs played key roles in morphological identification. To strengthen identification, mitochondrial COI and 16S rRNA gene fragments
