Journal ArticleDOI
The patterning of compensatory sugar feeding in the Australian sheep blowfly
TL;DR: Flies were usually relatively inactive following a meal, with the extent of this post‐prandial quiescence being a function both of meal size and concentration of sugar.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oöcyte resorption during ovarian development in the blowfly Lucilia cuprina
TL;DR: Nulliparous females of a normal anautogenous strain of Lucilia cuprina mature all of their primary oocytes after feeding ad lib on sheep's liver, and the mature oocytes are smaller than in ad lib fed females.
Journal ArticleDOI
The mating-induced refractoriness of Lucilia cuprina females: manipulating the male contribution
TL;DR: Three manipulations of the male contribution to copulation were used to investigate what determines the switch‐off of female receptivity that follows mating in Lucilia cuprina.
Journal ArticleDOI
Causes and correlates of loss and recovery of sexual receptivity in Lucilia cuprina females after their first mating
TL;DR: After an initial mating, females of the Australian sheep blowfly, Lucilia cuprina, rejected mating attempts by males for several days, and those mated females that regained receptivity mated as readily as virgins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sensory adaptation and the regulation of meal size in the Australian plague locust, Chortoicetes terminifera
TL;DR: Adults of Chortoicetes terminifera consumed larger meals of sucrose solution, applied as drops directly to their mouthparts, than of water, which indicates that sensory adaptation plays a part in bringing about the termination of meals of sugar solutions.
