Antarctica currently has few non-native species, compared to other regions of the planet, due to the continent’s isolation, extreme climatic conditions and the lack of habitat. However, human activity, particularly the activities of national government operators and tourism, increasingly contributes to the risk of non-native species transfer and es...
We present the first record of Atherigona reversura Villeneuve, 1936 in Uruguay, from Pando, Canelones department a rural area used for livestock. Atherigona reversura, this muscid, commonly known as shoot-fly, is a significant pest of cereal crops throughout the Old World tropics and subtropics and its main host is Bermudagrass, Cynodon dactylon L...
Las invasiones biológicas se encuentran entre lasamenazas más importantes para la biodiversidad a nivelmundial. En general la introducción de nuevas especiesen regiones geográficas fuera de su lugar de origen seha producido por razones económicas, científicas ysociales teniendo un impacto, muchas veces conconsecuencias imprevistas. La Antártida es...
La Entomología Forense es de gran valor en casos donde los restos humanos son colonizados por insectos. Su contribución más destacada consiste en establecer el intervalo post-mortem ya que algunas de las especies de la comunidad sarcosaprófaga están asociadas a etapas concretas del proceso de descomposición. Los restos orgánicos en descomposición,...
Species of Phoridae (Diptera) in Uruguay and new records. The Phoridae species detected in Uruguay are presented based on the bibliographical review of the family and the study of specimens deposited in the collection of the University of Cambridge, England. Seven species of Phoridae are recorded in Uruguay: Dohrniphora cornuta (Bigot, 1857), Megas...
En este trabajo se estudió el proceso de descomposición y la diversidad de insectos presentes en biomodelos porcinos en el departamento de Canelones, Uruguay. El objetivo fue determinar la composición específica, abundancia y riqueza de la artropodofauna carroñera en un ambiente de bosque forestal de Eucaliptus sp. Se realizaron muestreos estaciona...
Cochliomyia hominivorax es el principal agente de miasis primaria en el país. La temperatura es un factor fundamental para el desarrollo de las poblaciones de C. hominivorax. Para la implementación de modelos matemáticos para su control es necesario conocer los factores limitantes de su desarrollo. El objetivo de este ensayo fue determinar la viabi...
Checklist of Calliphoridae (Diptera: Muscomorpha) from Uruguay. The family Calliphoridae is
represented in Uruguay by four subfamilies: Calliphorinae, Chrysomyinae, Luciliinae and Toxotarsinae.
This article records the bibliographic review of Calliphoridae species cited in Uruguay along with data
on synonymy, distribution, records and main biologic...
Fannia fusconotata (Rondani, 1868) and Fannia sanihue Domínguez & Aballay, 2008 are recorded for the first time in Uruguay, extending the Neotropical distribution of these taxa eastward in South America. The specimens were collected using modified Malaise traps located above pig carcasses in Pando, Canelones, Uruguay, from February to April 2011. T...
Se determinó la composición y abundancia de la taxocenosis de dípteros muscomorfos en el Cementerio del Buceo, Montevideo, Uruguay en el período Julio/2011-Junio/2012. Se determinó la variación de la abundancia dentro de nichos con distintos tipos de cerramientos y orientación y su relación con la temperatura. También se determinó la variación esta...
Megaselia rufipes (Meigen, 1804) is recorded for the first time in Uruguay, extending the Neotropical distribution of this taxon. The specimens were collected in a cemetery in Montevideo with ball-traps baited with carrion, placed inside crypts, from June to November 2011. Records of M. rufipes for the Neotropical Region tend to be sparse, but it i...
A preliminary study on coprophilous and necrophilous Diptera assemblages was done at family level, in a serranía forest in Sierra de Minas, Uruguay. Besides, seasonal structure variations of both assemblages were assessed. Dipterous were sampled monthly during a year, using pitfall traps baited with cow dung and cow liver, which were deployed for a...
This study investigates the species richness and abundance of Drosophila Fallen, 1823 attracted to dung and carrion baited pitfall traps in natural areas with heterogeneous habitats at the Sierra de Minas, Eastern Serranias, southeastern Uruguay. Collecting was carried out on a monthly basis (May 2002 through April 2003). Drosophilids accounted for...
