Forensic entomology could provide valuable data for the minimum postmortem interval
(PMImin) estimation and other relevant information, such as causes and circumstances of …

Simple Summary Forensic entomologists utilize sarcosaprophagous insect species to
estimate the postmortem interval to aid death investigations. In this paper, we present the …

Decomposition is a complex process involving the interaction of both biotic and abiotic
factors. Microbes play a critical role in the process of carrion decomposition. In this study, we …

The estimation of a postmortem interval (PMI) is particularly important for forensic
investigations. The aim of this study was to assess the succession of bacterial communities …

The use of forensic entomology has become established as a global science. Recent efforts
in the field bridge multiple disciplines including, but not limited to, microbiology, chemistry …

The use of insects as indicators of post-mortem displacement is discussed in many texts,
courses and TV shows, and several studies addressing this issue have been published …

Fly larvae living on dead corpses can be used to estimate post-mortem intervals. The
identification of these flies is decisive in forensic casework and can be facilitated by using …

The available data for Sarcophagidae in GenBank were analysed in order to reconstruct the
most comprehensive phylogeny to date. GenBank was explored for nine markers that are …

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

The availability of complete mitochondrial genome (mtgenome) data for Diptera, one of the
largest metazoan orders, in public databases is limited. The advent of high throughput …
