Unequivocal identification of fly specimens is an essential requirement in forensic
entomology. However, not all species can be determined at every developmental stage …

Necrophagous Sarcophagidae are among the insects most frequently reported from human
corpses. The broad forensic application of flesh flies is restricted by the lack of reliable tools …

Carrion‐breeding insects, such as flesh flies (Diptera: Sarcophagidae), can be used as
evidence in forensic investigations. Despite their considerable forensic potential, their use …

Insect larvae and adult insects found on human corpses provide important clues for the
estimation of the postmortem interval (PMI). Among all necrophagous insects, flesh flies …

Sarcophagid flies have many characteristics that make them ideal forensic indicators.
However, their utility is severely limited because it is difficult or impossible to determine the …

Unequivocal identification of insect specimens is an essential requirement in forensic
entomology. With the development of molecular identification, spate of discussions about the …

An absolutely vital prerequisite in the forensic entomology cases is the estimation of post
mortem interval (PMI). Due to similar morphological look, identification of the flesh fly fauna …

The utility of the forensically important Sarcophagidae (Diptera) for time since death
estimates has been severely limited, as morphological identification is difficult and …

The identification of species of the forensically important genus Sarcophaga is very difficult
and requires strong taxonomic expertise. In this study, we sequenced the mitochondrial …

Insects attracted to cadavers may provide important indications of the postmortem interval
(PMI). However, use of the flesh flies (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) for PMI estimation is limited …
