Phoridae were studied in pine canopies in three pine forests in Poland: Puszcza Białowieska, Puszcza Biała  and Bory Tucholskie.
The aim of the research was to define changes taking place in scuttle fly communities in the course of  secondary succession of moist pine forest, and to determine which variant of secondary succession was being realized by this community.
Scuttle flies were collected in different-aged pine stands in 1986 and 1987, using yellow plastic bowls attached to crowns of trees or placed on the ground.

 Phorid fly - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A phorid fly is a small, hump-backed fly of the highly diverse family Phoridae, and resembling a fruit fly in appearance.
Phorid flies can often be identified by their escape habit of running rapidly across a surface rather than taking to the wing.

should not be confused with related species (many Phoridae species occur in England) which feed on decaying organic material, and the only real problem is infestation of same-species hosts within a collection.
The fruit fly-like Phoridae sub-order contains some amazing species, all recognisable by their rapid scuttling gait and humpbacked appearance.
Of the British species, some are know to be parasites on invertebrates; millipedes, beetles and other larger flies.

Phoridae are probably the insect family with the greatest diversity of larval habits, but the least studied of the large families of flies due to identification difficulties.
This book collates what is known about the natural history of the Phoridae world.
It reviews eggs and oviposition, larval habits (including saprophages, kleptoparasites, fungus breeders, plant feeders, predator, parasitoids, parasites and enemies), pupae and their enemies, development, adult habits (including feeding, special associations, courtship, mating, phoretic mites and enemies) and ecological aspects.

Although no aquatic Phoridae are known from Australia, the prevalence of their preferred aquatic habitat (containers) suggests that they may occur here.
Phoridae larvae are very diverse in their morphology, but are evidently "higher flies" based on the reduction of the head to a cephalo-pharyngeal skeleton, comprising mouth-hooks (mandibles).
The body shape ranges from cylindrical to strongly flattened, with or without setose protuberances.

Function of bicoid and hunchback homologs in the basal cyclorrhaphan fly Megaselia (Phoridae).
In this study, we used double-stranded RNA interference (RNAi) to address the function of bicoid and hunchback homologs in embryos of the lower cyclorrhaphan fly Megaselia abdita (Phoridae).
Its transcripts are localized at the anterior pole of the oocyte, giving rise to a Bicoid protein gradient, which regulates the spatially restricted expression of target genes along the anterior-posterior axis of the embryo in a concentration-dependent manner.

 Insect Diversity Project Web/Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County Collaborative Proposal
Many of the flies encountered in the subsample from Rio Palenque were of two groups: the primitive, nematocerous families and the Phoridae.
We made a special effort to enlist the aid of workers in these groups, and have coverage of the large nematocerous families Tipulidae, Psychodidae and Ceratopogonidae.
For Phoridae we will work on the second most species-rich genus in the family, the ant-decapitating flies of the genus Apocephalus, as well as three smaller parasitic genera, Melaloncha, Neodohrniphora and Phalacrotophora.
