High Temperature Limits of Survival and Oviposition of <i>Phormia regina</i> (Meigen) and <i>Lucilia sericata</i> (Meigen)

The temperature dependent development rates of blow flies allow blow flies to be used as biological clocks in forensic death investigations. However, the upper thermal limits of adult survival and oviposition, both required for producing larvae, remains largely unknown. Therefore, in this study we e...
