Sex-Biased Patterns of Saprophagous Calyptratae (Diptera) Collected with Different Baits of Animal Origin

The response behavior of males and females of different families of Calyptratae (Diptera) to two different baits as separate attractants are explored to allow hypothesizing on the biological traits of saprophagous species, especially on their potential breeding substrates, and assessing proper sampling methods.
