Trophic structure and function in the larva of predatory muscid flies (Diptera, Muscidae)
Assessed multiple times over a 100-year period, yet poorly understood, we provide a new view of trophic structure and function in predatory muscid larvae based on Phaonia goberti (Mik) and Phaonia subventa (Harris) (Diptera, Muscidae). Trophic structure and function were investigated by morphological analysis, direct observation and filming. Larvae search...Rotheray, Graham E ; Wilkinson, Geoffrey
