Insects are the most widespread group of organisms and more than one million species
have been described. These animals have significant ecological functions, for example they …

The paper presents the state of knowledge on the chromatographic techniques used in the
analysis of insect lipids. Lipids are one of the forms of protection against entomopathogenic …

Numerous natural surfaces have micro/nanostructures that result in extraordinary
functionality, such as superhydrophobicity, self‐cleaning, antifogging, and antimicrobial …

Numerous natural surfaces possess superhydrophobicity and self-cleaning properties that
would be extremely beneficial when applied in industry. Dragonfly wings are one example of …

Fatty acids as components of cuticular lipids of insects play a significant role in antifungal in
protection against fungal infection. The chemical composition of cuticular and internal …

Aims This article describes the qualitative and quantitative analyses of untypical compounds
in the cuticular and internal lipids of four dipteran species. For isolated compounds …

The cuticular and internal lipid composition in Calliphoravomitoria larvae, pupae, and male
and female adults was studied. The free fatty acid (FA) compositions of the lipids were …

Necrophagous Calliphoridae breed in vertebrate carrion. Their larvae aggregate and form
large masses of individuals. These aggregated larvae can reach adulthood faster than …

Information on the stimulatory and inhibitory effects of cuticular alcohols on growth and
virulence of insecticidal fungi is unavailable. Therefore, we set out to describe the content of …

Most flies of forensic importance are in two superfamilies, the Muscoidea and the
Oestroidea, with similar life stages including the puparium. Upon completion of …
