Simple Summary As an important group of species in forensic entomology,
sarcosaprophagous beetles can provide valuable clues to the postmortem interval of …

This is the second edition of the „World Catalogue of the Dermestidae “published by the
author (Háva 2003e). The family presently includes 62 valid genera and 1498 species and …

Carrion resources sustain a complex and diverse community of both vertebrate and
invertebrate scavengers, either obligate or facultative. However, although carrion ecology …

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 …

Abstract Most Dermestes species (Coleoptera: Dermestidae) are scavengers during both
larval and adult stages, with a preference for dry organic matter. Because of this, Dermestes …

The composition and spatial distribution of sarcosaprophagous Diptera assemblages were
studied using carrion‐baited traps along a bioclimatic gradient of natural habitats in central …

Some Coleoptera are recognised as being forensically important as post-mortem interval
(PMI) indicators, especially in the later stages of cadaver decomposition. Because insect …

Although most cases involving entomological evidence occur in urban environments and
under indoor conditions, there is a lack of studies determining the insect fauna of forensic …

Data on the ecology and bionomics of necrophagous beetles are scarce in tropical countries
despite their relevance in forensic investigations. We performed a survey on the diversity …

The variation in decomposition and insect succession among the four seasons of one year
was studied for the first time in a periurban area of central Spain. During the winter trial, the …
