Decomposition of carrion in the marine environment in British Columbia, Canada
International Journal of Legal Medicine, 2004Decomposition of carrion in the marine environment is not well understood. This research involved the decomposition of pig carcasses in Howe Sound in British Columbia. Freshly killed pigs were submerged at two depths, 7.6 m and 15.2 m. The carcasses were tethered so that they could float or sink, but not drift away.

Acari community in association with delayed pig carrion decomposition
Experimental and Applied Acarology, 2021Acari community structure and function associated with delayed pig carrion decomposition has not been examined. In this study, 18 swine carcasses were studied in central Texas, USA, during two consecutive summers (2013 and 2014). Samples of ca. 400 g soil were collected from beneath, aside, and 5 m away from each pig carcass over 180 days.

The role of ants in vertebrate carrion decomposition
Food Webs, 2019Abstract We review the relevant literature on ant-carrion interactions, highlight what is known about ants in decomposition ecology, and present a framework for future studies that aim to quantify the direct and indirect effects of ants on decomposition. One hundred and fifty-four species of ants were documented on carrion.

Scavenging beetles control the temporal response of soil communities to carrion decomposition [PDF]
Functional Ecology, 2021 Abstract Carrion is a frequent but overlooked source of nutrients to the soil. The decomposition of carrion is accelerated by invertebrate scavengers, but the impact of the scavengers on below‐ground biota and its functions is scarcely known.

Pig carrion decomposition and insect succession were monitored in different seasons and forests of Central Europe. Pattern of decomposition as well as onset, duration and rate of decompositional processes were measured. Pattern of decomposition was the same in almost all cases with putrefaction, active and advanced decay.

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 residency in carrion in adults and larvae of particular taxa were analysed. A total of 131 adult and 36 larval necrophilous taxa were collected.

Effects of decomposition on carcass attendance in a guild of carrion‐breeding flies
Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 2003Abstract. Many forensically important calliphorids, sarcophagids and muscids (Diptera) oviposit or larviposit on corpses only during the early stages of decomposition, yet individuals may attend bodies throughout decay.

Global change influences scavenging and carrion decomposition
Trends in Ecology & EvolutionCarrion decomposition is fundamental to nutrient cycling in terrestrial ecosystems because it provides a high-quality resource to diverse organisms. A conceptual framework incorporating all phases of carrion decomposition with the full community of scavengers is needed to predict the effects of global change on core ecosystem processes.

The succession of insects on pig carrion was monitored in spring, summer and autumn, in three forest types and 2 years in Western Poland (Central Europe). In most forensically useful taxa, significant differences between seasons, forests and years in time of appearance on carrion were found.

Functional redundancy in carrion decomposition by temperate forest ant communities
Ecological EntomologyAbstract Scavenging of small avian corpses may provide ants with a valuable source of nutrients, a possibility poorly studied. Here, we assessed whether ants are efficient carrion‐decomposers of ...
