Animal carcasses provide an ephemeral pulse of nutrients for scavengers that use them.
Carcass sites can increase species interactions and/or ephemeral, localized landscapes of …

Carrion can have disproportionally large effects on ecological processes and community
dynamics. During decomposition, the influx of growth‐limiting nutrients can create small …

The role of insects in the transfer of radionuclides has received little attention, despite their
key role in nutrient cycling within ecosystems. In this study, we investigated the trophic food …

Avian species have a long fossil history of altering vertebrate remains, including hominin.
Some of the most forensically important taxa in the USA include New World vultures …

Infection risk by pathogenic agents motivates hosts to avoid using resources with high risks.
This, in turn, results in increased availability of these resources for other species that are …

Carrion is increasingly recognized as an important part of food web ecology that impacts
multiple trophic levels and creates an arena for multiple species interactions. The pulsed …

Death and decomposition are natural processes that are generally well-understood.
However, large events of death, such as mass mortality events (MMEs) are increasing in …

Given the recent growth in the field, some students in forensic anthropology may find it
difficult to devise an affordable, suitable, and ideally publishable thesis topic. Taphonomic …
