Does anti-parasitoid defense explain host-plant selection by a polyphagous caterpillar? (2003, background): “Because early larval stages of tachinids are generally thought to ingest the hemolymph of their host before establishing a permanent feeding site (Ferar 1987, Mellini 1990) and secondary metabolites of hostplants may be present in a caterpillar’s hemolymph (Duffey 1980, Weller et al. 1999), the…”
Phylogeny of Oestridae (Insecta: Diptera) (2001, background): “In species of Cuterebra, Dermatobia, Gyrostigma, Gasterophilus and possibly Cobboldia, newly hatched larvae, have a markedly drawn-out outline with the posterior segments being distinctly longer than the anterior ones (see ®gures, e.g. in Ferrar, 1987).”
Relationships of extant lower Brachycera (Diptera): a quantitative synthesis of morphological characters (2002, background): “Synapomorphy of the Cyclorrhapha [Hennig 1973; Ferrar 1987; Cumming et al .”
Exploring the diversity of flies (Diptera) (2002, methodology): “Another species oviposits in the anal opening of beetles while they are on the ground (Ferrar 1987).”
