Necrophagous blowflies(Diptera:Calliphoridae)such as Calliphora vicina,a cold-tolerant species,and Lucilia sericata,a warm-adapted species,are pioneer carrion-breeder.Although these two species have different temperature preferences,larvae aggre-gate actively and often feed simultaneously on carrion.The hypothesis to be tested was that L.sericata benefits from the association with C.vicina at lower temperatures(i.e.,15 ℃)and that C.vicina derives greater benefits from this association at higher temperatures(i.e.,28 ℃).Therefore,both species were raised at these two constant temperatures from first instars to adults under three different conditions:monospecific low-density,monospecific high-density,and heterospecific high-density.The time until larval migration,surface area of puparia,and survival rates were determined for each condition.Differences between these fitness-related traits were found between species,temperatures,group densities,and species compositions.At 28 ℃,C.vicina larvae bred in heterospecific groups migrated significantly earlier and in higher numbers than that under same density conspecific con-ditions,with a lower mortality rate.At 15 ℃,both species benefited from high-density heterospecific associations,expressed by faster development and larger puparia.In con-clusion,necrophagous larvae benefited from heterospecific aggregations at suboptimal temperatures by adapting their migration time to that of the faster species.Since temper-ature changes throughout the day and over the year,the beneficiary of such a collective association also changes.The costs involved and deviations to the temperature-size rule highlight the complexity of the carrion ecosystem.
