1 Application of ecological models in entomology: a view from Brazil Wesley A. C. Godoy University of São Paulo "Luiz de Queiroz" College of Agriculture Piracicaba, São Paulo, Brazil - wacgodoy@usp.br

2 Working with ecological models in different places and areas Medical and forensic entomology Agricultural and forest entomology Universidade Estadual Paulista University of São Paulo - ESALQ Luiz de Queiroz College of Agriculture

3 Overview Part I: blowflies as a study model to investigate intra and interspecific interactions Population dynamics: a scenario involving exotic and native blowfly species Population dynamics applied to forensic entomology Intraguild predation Tri-trophic interactions Part II: combining population theory with biological control and integrated pest management (IPM) Ecological basis for modelling pests and natural enemies Concept of economic injury level A preliminary model combining host-parasitoid theory and IPM Inserting spatial dimension into the system Experiments focused on potential natural enemies for mass production

12 Forensic applications

13 How can ecological models provide useful information for forensic sciences? Showing what factors govern diversity and abundance of insects

14 Three important ecological factors: Diversity and abundance of blowflies Interspecific and trophic interactions Psychoactive drugs or medicines and population dynamics of blowflies Diversity and abundance influence strength of interactions demographic parameters depend on resources available and influence dynamic behaviours Influence of drugs on demographic parameters
