Description:
The work begins with an introductory chapter on Diptera, followed by comprehensive review on Drosophila as a model organism. Subsequent chapters address its various species and mutants, its significance in biological research, and its utility as a tool for studying human regenerative diseases. The book includes chironomid midges, examining their taxonomic diversity, their function as reservoirs of pathogens, and their importance in environmental impact assessment and monitoring. A dedicated chapter on sarcophagid flies emphasizes research on polytene chromosomes, which is followed by a chapter detailing the applications of Diptera in forensic investigations.
