Fly Biology Ecology Behavior and Management

<p>Diptera known as the true flies is one of the most numerous and diverse orders of insects comprising about 125000 species widely distributed throughout the world. These insects play an ecologically relevant role and bear significant importance to humans. Just as certain flies act as pollinators decomposers predators and parasitoids others are vectors of human diseases and represent serious pests of agriculture stables and barnyards. Several dipterans are involved in forensic legal investigations. This Special Issue invites the submission of original research articles and reviews to deepen the biological ecological and behavioral knowledge of this diversified insect group and to cover management strategies for both pest and disease vector species. This involves a wide range of studies such as life history physiological aspects reproduction demographic traits the ecology and evolution of behavioral patterns population fluctuation and dynamics diversity abundance trophic relationships host range and status natural enemies integrated pest management and control tactics.</p>
