Essential oils (EOs) are effective repellents and eco-friendly alternatives. We tested single and combination EOs of fennel and anise for repellency and stability against houseflies. All treatments were stored at 27 °C for up to 360 days.

The house fly, Musca domestica, L. (Diptera: Muscidae), is a filth fly that is often associated with criminal and civil investigations surrounding abuse, neglect, and death of humans and other vertebrates. However, development data, which are crucial for determining the age of immatures collected under forensically relevant circumstances, are limited.

The transmission of antibiotic resistance (AR) from farm animals to healthy human communities, beyond the food chain, is often facilitated by biological vectors, notably houseflies (Musca domestica). This study aimed to evaluate the role of M. domestica collected from commercial broiler chicken farms as a carrier of multidrug-resistant (MDR), extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli.

A spectacular diversity of forms and features allow species to thrive in different environments, yet some structures remain relatively unchanged. Insect compound eyes are easily recognizable despite dramatic differences in visual abilities across species. It is unknown whether distant insect species use similar or different mechanisms to pattern their eyes or what types of genetic changes produce diversity of form and function.

Recent increases in the availability of computational power have improved the accessibility of ligand-protein relative binding free energy (RBFE) calculations; however, these calculations remain resource-intensive, which can limit their practical application. RBFE calculations typically use a set of thermodynamic intermediates mediated by the transformation coordinate λ. Optimizing λ offers a way to tune the computational efforts required for a given RBFE calculation.
