Tiny but mighty: Insects can drive carrion decomposition in the absence of facultative vertebrate scavengers

open access: yesEcology, Volume 107, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Scavengers play a key role in recycling animal biomass, yet the relative contributions of insects and vertebrates to this process remain poorly understood. Moreover, understanding whether one scavenger group can compensate for the absence of another is critical for predicting how carrion decomposition may respond to changes in community ...

Adult Blow Flies Host Diverse Carrion‐Associated Microbiomes

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.
Blow flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) perform important yet often overlooked roles in ecosystems as decomposers, pollinators and vectors of disease. Central to these functions are their associations with microbial communities, which are maintained through close contact with diverse microbe‐rich substrates such as carrion, dung and flowers.
