Decomposition studies of vertebrate remains primarily focus on data that can be seen with
the naked eye, such as arthropod or vertebrate scavenger activity, with little regard for what …

Necrophagous invertebrates have been documented to be a predominant driver of
vertebrate carrion decomposition; however, very little is understood about the assembly of …

The insect fauna of pig carcasses was monitored in different seasons and forests of Western
Poland (Central Europe). The composition of carrion fauna and selected features of …

Estimating the postmortem interval (PMI) is one of the major tasks and a continuous
