Improving knowledge of the cyclorrhaphan larva (Diptera)
A significant factor in the evolution of the Cyclorrhapha (Diptera), the most biodiverse of higher dipteran taxa, is the larva. The larva also has wide-ranging trophic and environmental relationships, including positive and negative impacts on human health and wealth. Despite its importance, the larva is neglected and a low proportion...Rotheray, Graham E

Diverse mechanisms of feeding and movement in Cyclorrhaphan larvae (Diptera)
Direct observation, filmed behaviour and morphological analysis were used to investigate mechanisms of larval feeding and movement in 20 species of Cyclorrhapha (Diptera). Feeding mechanisms refer to techniques of gathering food close to the pharynx entrance prior to sucking it in. A total of 12 mechanisms were recorded. Contrasting mechanisms...Rotheray, Graham E ; Lyszkowski, Richard M
