The Society for the study of flies (Diptera)

Hi,
I am a Ph.D student at the University of Bordeaux 1, France and I am working on the morphological characterization of puparia of forensic interest species. My research aims to help the identification of puparia found associated with human remains in archaeological sepultures. There is only a few work available on the morphological characterization of puparia. However in archaeological context and also in some forensic cases, we sometimes have almost only puparia to get information on the death. Therefore we need more investigation on the morphology of puparia in order to identify correctly the species.

The main problem I have, is to collect puparia sample of forensic interest species. Therefore I am looking for laboratory with fly colonies which can send me puparia of identify species.
Or I am also looking for people with puparia collection who can send me material to study.

If anyone could send me puparia or if you have in mind a laboratory with fly colonies please contact me at: andre.lucile@gmail.com
I will be very gratefull for your help.

Kind regards,

Lucile ANDRE
