“…If calliphorid larvae do not receive sufficient nutriment they produce smaller larvae, pupae and adults [for example, Lucilia sericata (L.), Daniels et al, 1991 and L. caesar (L.) Okorie and Okoke, 1990]. Metabolic inhibitors, such as CGA, can similarly retard the growth of insect larvae (Kimmins et al, 1995) by interfering with digestion of protein and absorption of the resulting amino-acids (Felton et al, 1992;Stevenson et al, 1993aStevenson et al, , 1993b.…”

Abstract.A series of experiments were conducted to compare the susceptibility of P. regina larvae reared in isolation or in groups to the effects of diet-borne metabolic inhibitors: chlorogenic acid (CGA) and mimosine. Larvae were presented with diets containing 0.4 mM CGA or 0.4 mM CGA in combination with 22 mM lysine or methionine or with diets containing 1.5, 15 or 30 mM concen trations of mimosine. Methionine and CGA caused significantly reduced pupal weights when compared with larvae presented with lysine and CGA. All concentrations of mimosine resulted in 100% mortality with larvae unable to successfully complete pupation even at the lowest concentration. In general, larvae reared in groups were less susceptible to the toxic effects resulting from dietborne metabolic inhibitors. The results are discussed in relation to the chemical factors that result from the feeding activity of saprophagous dipterans.

Larval density is an important factor modulating larval resource-acquisition, influencing development of insects. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of larval density and substrate content on some life-history parameters of Musca domestica Linnaeus, 1758 (Diptera: Muscidae). This research was carried out from March 2019 through September 2019 at Animal Physiology Laboratory of Ondokuz Mayıs University, Samsun, Turkey. Groups of 25, 100, 200, and 400 newly hatched M. domestica larvae were transferred to a polyethylene cup filled with different substrates (i.e., wheat bran, poultry meal, soybean meal) and kept at 25°C, 62% RH with a photoperiod of 12:12 (L:D) h. A two-way analysis of variance (Two way ANOVA) was used to analyze the data on the percentage of pupal and larval survival development time, pupal, and adult weight to evaluate the effect of density and rearing substrate. In this study, increasing larval density and nutrient content of food led to changes in the larval and pupal development time of M. domestica. The results also indicated that the weight of pupae and adult survival was negatively affected by increasing larval density. The wheat bran diet was superior to the other diets for all parameters tested. Our study indicated that life history parameters of Musca domestica are affected by the rearing conditions.
