Abstract The housefly ( Musca domestica L.) is ubiquitously vilified as a mechanical vector of pathogens, yet its ecological utility remains profoundly underestimated in mainstream biological discourse. This research article aims to recontextualize the housefly not merely as a pest, but as a critical functional component of global ecosystems and a cornerstone of the emerging bioeconomy. Adopting a systems ecology framework integrated with ...
