Journal ArticleDOI
Post-Mortem Interval Estimation Based on Insect Evidence: Current Challenges.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review literature in this field to identify research areas that may contribute to the increase in the accuracy of post-mortem interval (PMI) estimation and conclude that research on the development and succession of carrion insects, thermogenesis in aggregations of their larvae and error rates of the PMI estimation protocols should be prioritized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Patterns and mechanisms for larval aggregation in carrion beetle Necrodes littoralis (Coleoptera: Silphidae)
Joanna Gruszka,Marta Krystkowiak-Kowalska,Katarzyna Frątczak-Łagiewska,Anna Mądra-Bielewicz,Damien Charabidze,Szymon Matuszewski +5 more
TL;DR: Analysis of larvae of the communally breeding carrion beetle Necrodes littoralis reveals the prevalence of communal feeding among necrophagous insect larvae, revealing the interspecific and intraspecific diversity of patterns and mechanisms for larval aggregation on carrions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimating crime scene temperatures from nearby meteorological station data.
TL;DR: Recommendations for data logging duration of operation are provided, and a baseline for further research into producing standard guidelines for increasing the accuracy of minPMI estimations and, ultimately, greater robustness of forensic entomology evidence in court are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimation of physiological age at emergence based on traits of the forensically useful adult carrion beetle Necrodes littoralis L. (Silphidae).
TL;DR: N. littoralis is a second beetle species in which the age at maturity was more accurately represented by size-based estimates of K than K from the general thermal summation model, demonstrating that physiological age at emergence of N. lITToralis may be accurately predicted.

The carrion beetle Oxelytrum discicolle (Coleoptera: Silphidae) and the estimative of the minimum post-mortem interval in a forensic case in Brasília, Brazil
Luiz Antonio Lira,Luiz Antonio Lira,Karine Brenda Barros-Cordeiro,Beatriz Figueiredo,Malthus Fonseca Galvão,Marina Regina Frizzas +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the first forensic Entomology case in Brazil where the carrion beetle Oxelytrum discicolle (Coleoptera: Silphidae), was used to estimate the minimum post-mortem interval (m-PMI) in a forensic case.

A Summer Carrion Study of the Baby Pig Sus Scrofa Linnaeus
TL;DR: A carrion study of the baby pig, Sus scrofa Linnaeus, was conducted during the summers of 1962 and 1963 in a mixed mesophytic hardwood—pine community at Clemson, South Carolina, where a definite ecological succession occurred among the fauna of carrions.

Best practice in forensic entomology—standards and guidelines
Jens Amendt,Carlo Pietro Campobasso,Emmanuel Gaudry,Christian Reiter,Hélène N. LeBlanc,Martin J. R. Hall +5 more
TL;DR: The European Association for Forensic Entomology has developed a protocol document for best practice in forensic entomology, which includes an overview of equipment used for collection of entomological evidence and a detailed description of the methods applied.

Effect of temperature on development of the forensically important holarctic blow fly Protophormia terraenovae (Robineau-Desvoidy) (Diptera: Calliphoridae).
TL;DR: It is shown that developmental time from oviposition to adult eclosion might be different in various regions of the world, and that the thermal constant of a holarctic species like P. terraenovae is not same everywhere.
