Abstract Knowledge of the decomposition of vertebrate animals has advanced considerably
in recent years and revealed complex interactions among biological and environmental …

The recent surge in the application of geosciences in forensics has yielded significant
insights into taphonomy and decomposition processes, particularly with regard to the …

Recent conceptual and empirical developments in decomposition research have highlighted
the intricate dynamics within necrobiome communities and the roles of various decay …

The total body score (TBS) is a visual scoring method to scale the succession of
decomposition stages. It compares decomposition between cadavers, to connect it with …

Objective This study aims to evaluate the relationship between Total Body Score (TBS) and
Accumulated Degree-Days (ADD) for estimating postmortem interval (PMI) using the …

In this study, we explore the interplay of seasonal insect assemblages and carcass weight
change to refine the estimation of minimum post‐mortem interval (PMImin), a key variable in …

Decomposition studies have been conducted in several regions of the world, but relatively
few have investigated taphonomy in tropical environments. Even fewer have explored …

Body decomposition is influenced by various factors, including temperature, rainfall, body
mass, and the activities of insects and carnivores in areas where carcasses are abandoned …

Background Human decomposition in terrestrial ecosystems is a dynamic process that
creates localized hotspots of soil nutrient cycling and microbial activity, and the study of its …

The estimation of postmortem interval (PMI) is a critical component of medicolegal death
investigation. An accurate PMI estimate has the potential to influence the allocation of …
