“…Specimens were identified using the valid taxonomic keys and detailed species descripttion [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] and names were updated [31] . Images were captured using a Nikon 7100d camera (Minato city, Tokyo, Japan) and microscopic samples were photographed using an S-EYE YW500 camera and Nokia 6 phone camera fixed on a BOECO BM-120 microscope (Hamburg, Germany).…”

Nuweiba city, South Sinai, Egypt is one of the poorly-studied areas in terms of the presence of medically-important dipteran species. Therefore, in the current study a survey of flies (order: Diptera) of medical importance in Nuweiba city was carried out during winter and summer of 2019. Six traps baited with two sources of attractantsdecayed fish pieces and a ready-made botanical extractwere used to collect the flies in four selected localities. A total of 374 individuals belonging to 11 species within 9 genera under 6 families (Culicidae, Ephydridae, Ulidiidae, Calliphoridae, Muscidae, and Sarcophagidae) were captured, and the identification key was provided. The highest numbers of adult flies were found in summer in "Habiba organic farm" using traps baited with decayed fish pieces (n=159). Two species (Musca domestica L. and Culex pipiens L.) were the most predominant species with a total of 141 and 100 captured specimens, respectively. The collected specimens included medically important species, as disease vectors and myiasis producers in humans and animals, which belong to three families (Calliphoridae, Muscidae, and Sarcophagidae); besides the two mosquito species (Culex pipiens and Culiseta longiareolata Macquart) that are known as vectors for many diseases of humans. In addition, Sarcophaga (Liopygia) surcoufi is newly recorded in Sinai. In conclusion, the aforementioned dipterous species may have the potential of transmitting diseases to the community dwellers in Nuweiba city; therefore, they must be controlled.

“…Given the abundance of terrestrial flies found on carcasses in 2016 (described below), we deployed plastic funnel flytraps baited with salmon carcass flesh midway through the spawning season in 2018 to identify fly consumers at a higher taxonomic level. At El Toqui, Ñirehuao, and Huemules, five traps were left in riparian habitat for 24 h. Trapped adult flies were identified to the family level, and those belonging to family Calliphoridae (blowflies) were identified to species using González et al (2017).…”

Emergent trophic interactions following the Chinook salmon invasion of Patagonia

et al. 2022

In their native range, Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) have strong interactions with a multitude of species due to the annual pulse of marine-derived nutrients that they deliver to streams and forests when they spawn and die. Over the past few decades, Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) has established non-native populations throughout the Patagonia region of southern South America. Here, we provide the first assessment of the pathways through which salmon-derived nutrients enter stream and forest food webs in Patagonia by surveying multiple streams in southern Chile to identify invertebrate and vertebrate consumers of salmon carcasses and summarizing all documented trophic interactions of Chinook salmon in Patagonia. Blowflies (Calliphoridae) were the dominant colonizer of carcasses in the riparian zone, and midge flies (Chironomidae) were the most common invertebrate on submerged carcasses. Camera trap monitoring in the riparian zone revealed consumption of carcasses or carcass-associated invertebrates by the insectivorous passerine bird "chucao" (Scelorchilis rubecula), small rodents (black rat Rattus rattus, house mouse Mus musculus, and/or colilargo Oligoryzomys longicaudatus), the South American fox "culpeo" (Lycalopex culpaeus), and the invasive American mink (Neovison vison). A mink was filmed transferring a carcass from stream to streambank, indicating that vertebrate scavenging likely increases the degree to which marine-derived nutrients enter terrestrial food webs. The native taxa that consume salmon are closely related to species that benefit from salmon consumption in North America, suggesting that the pathways of salmon nutrient incorporation in North American food webs have functionally re-emerged in South America. Similarly, non-native trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss and Salmo trutta) and mink consume salmon in Patagonia, and their eco-evolutionary history of coexistence with salmon could mean that they are preadapted for salmon consumption and could thus be key beneficiaries of this invasion. Expanded monitoring of the Bryan D. Neff and John D. Reynolds are joint senior authors.
