Carrion odor and cattle grazing [PDF]
Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2013 Recently, it has been proposed on theoretical grounds that carrion odor from flowers may not only attract pollinators, but also repel mammalian herbivores. Two grazing experiments involving 16 to 26 cattle heads per year, one for eight years (1982-1989) and the other for seven (1994-2000), in a region with no large carnivores that could influence ...

Effect of Habitat on Blow Fly (Diptera: Calliphoridae) Oviposition in Michigan [PDF]
, 2017 Forensic entomology applies data gained from insects to aid the criminal justice system. Blow flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) are usually the first insects to arrive and oviposit (lay eggs) on carrion.

Monitoring the dead as an ecosystem indicator
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Dead animal biomass (carrion) is present in all terrestrial ecosystems, and its consumption, decomposition, and dispersal can have measurable effects on vertebrates, invertebrates, microbes, parasites, plants, and soil.

Carcass appearance does not influence scavenger avoidance of carnivore carrion
Scientific Reports, 2022 The selection or avoidance of certain carrion resources by vertebrate scavengers can alter the flow of nutrients in ecosystems. Evidence suggests higher trophic level carrion is scavenged by fewer vertebrate species and persists longer when compared to ...
