Flies from the families Calliphoridae, Sarcophagidae, and Muscidae were trapped in meat-baited traps set in a variety of locations throughout the county. Flies were identified using morphological features and confirmed by molecular analysis. A total of 16 calliphorid species, 14 sarcophagid species, and four muscid species were collected and differentiated. This study found more species of flies than previous area surveys and established new county records for two calliphorid species: Cynomya cadaverina and Chrysomya rufifacies. Significant differences were found in fly fauna in different areas of the county (p

Forensic entomology although not a commonly used discipline in the forensic sciences, does have its niche and when used by investigators is respected in crinimolegal investigations (Greenberg and Kunich, 2005). With many species of forensically significant insects being regionally specific, it is often difficult for forensic entomologists to as confidently translate regionally specific studies across drastically differing geographic regions (Brundage, et al., 2011). The purpose of this study is to help create a better temporal and geographic distributional understanding of the blow fly species present in Los Angeles County, California, United States. Twenty-five locations from four ecoregions (coastal mountains, urban, interior mountains, and desert) were regularly surveyed using baited traps for forensically significant blow flies throughout Los Angeles County from July, 2017 through January, 2018. In total 10,875 arthropod specimens were collected, of which 4,933 were the target family Calliphoridae. Six genera and twelve forensically significant species were recorded from the county during this time period. In addition to the current survey, all specimens from the Los Angeles Museum of Natural History and from select literature were included revealing an additional three species not collected during this current survey. Chrysomya rufifacies and Lucilia sericata comprised most the specimens recorded [collectively 87.9% (61.3% and 26.6% respectively)]. Several species define two ecoregions, Lucilia cuprina was only recorded below 1,000 feet elevation in urban disturbed environments, and Calliphora livida and Calliphora vomitoria define the San Gabriel Mountains having only been found there above about 4,000 feet elevation. Temporally, with Los Angeles having a rather Mediterranean climate year-round it is not surprising that most species have wide temporal distributions with only Calliphora terraenovae significantly restricted to only May-June. In summary, summer was the most species rich season with all 15 species recorded, and the San Gabriel Mountains had the highest diversity with 13 of the 15 species occurring there.

The Tijuana River Valley Historical Ecology Investigation synthesizes hundreds of historical maps, photographs, and texts to reconstruct the ecological, hydrological, and geomorphic conditions of the Tijuana River valley prior to major European-American landscape modification. How did the valley look and function before there was the state of California, the city of Tijuana, or an international border? What habitat types and wildlife were found there? How have these habitat types and the physical processes that shaped them changed over time? And finally, what can the valley's ecological past tell us about its present and future? In answering these fundamental questions, this richly-illustrated study provides scientists, managers, and residents in the valley with information designed to support and inspire ongoing management and restoration activities.

Stressing the key role vectors play spread of virus diseases, this volume represents the priorities in practical plant virus research and ways in which their control or management should be sought through an understanding of the practical and environmental aspects of the interactions of viruses with their vectors and their environment. It provides
