(2010-10-12)Cochliomyia macellaria (Fabricius) has great importance in forensics and is commonly utilized in estimating the period of insect activity (PIA) on a corpse due to its rapid colonization time of fresh remains, active ...
-
(2012-12-11)Forensic entomology is a well-established science linking arthropod biology and ecology to legal investigations. Specifically, immature development on a decomposing corpse may give insight into the minimum time elapsed ...
-
(2022-07-21)Landscapes vary across space and through time, impacting many biological processes. Landscape ecology provides an investigative framework through which landscapes themselves can be characterized, and complex organismal ...
-
(2012-07-16)This investigation explored the environmental and physiological factors affecting adult blow fly (Diptera: Calliphoridae) arrival and attendance at pig (Sus scrofa domesticus L.) carcasses in Brazos Co, TX in the summer ...
-
(2015-07-24)Blow flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) are carrion feeding insects that perform a critical ecological service by recycling nutrients throughout temperate and tropic regions of the world. Some members of this guild are parasites ...
-
(2012-07-16)Carrion decomposition is an essential ecosystem function as it is an important component of nutrient cycling. Carrion decomposition has primarily been attributed to insect consumption, with little attention given to ...
-
(2022-08-03)Carrion is an ephemeral, high value, patchy resource that inspires intense competition. This leads to selective pressures on the processes that govern its location and use (e.g., foraging behaviors, reproductive strategies). ...
-
(2017-10-30)Blow flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) are the primary invertebrate consumers of carrion. Due to their close association with decomposition throughout their lifecycle, immature Calliphoridae collected from remains can be used ...
-
(2019-10-28)The growth and development of insects are heavily temperature dependent. Generally, development time decreases as temperature increases, up to an optimal temperature. Beyond the optimal temperature, development and performance ...
-
(2017-01-19)The Degree Day method allows the temperature-dependent growth of poikilothermic organisms to be measured within their upper and lower thermal limits. It has been used in agricultural and entomological sciences for more ...
