Super-scavengers: Vertebrates outperform invertebrates and microbes at removing carrion from a tropical forest

Global Ecology and Conservation
Scavenging by vertebrates is an important ecosystem service as they are known to remove carrion more efficiently than other taxa. How long would carrion persist bereft of vertebrate scavengers?

Species composition of blow flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) colonizing pig carcasses exposed to bifenthrin‐ and clothianidin‐containing products

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
High clothianidin concentrations prevented colonization, while bifenthrin showed a non‐significant trend of reduced fly abundance, indicating both insecticides may suppress blow fly activity on treated carcasses. Adult emergence rates were unaffected, with no statistically significant differences observed across insecticide treatments, suggesting ...

Photoinitiated oxidative addition of CF3I to gold(I) and facile aryl-CF3 reductive elimination. [PDF]

, 2014
Herein we report the mechanism of oxidative addition of CF3I to Au(I), and remarkably fast Caryl-CF3 bond reductive elimination from Au(III) cations. CF3I undergoes a fast, formal oxidative addition to R3PAuR (R = Cy, R = 3,5-F2-C6H4, 4-F-C6H4, C6H5, 4 ...

An inquiry‐based activity to teach about insects of medico‐legal importance: Lessons from Redi's landmark experiment

Natural Sciences Education, Volume 55, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract In this article, we describe an inquiry‐based teaching activity developed in a public high school in Brazil. The objectives were to (a) develop an experimental activity grounded on the students’ autonomy for formulating and testing hypotheses, (b) address Biology topics from a historical and multidisciplinary perspective, (c) stimulate skills ...

Differential Phoretic Vector Use Among Sympatric Caenorhabditis Nematodes and an Association With Invasive Nitidulid Beetles in Southwestern Germany

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
We show evidence for differential host use among the three sympatric Caenorhabditis, and a novel association with nitidulid beetles for C. apta sp. n. This information adds to our understanding of host invertebrate use across the Caenorhabditis phylogeny, highlighting potential evolutionary transitions in host use in need of further study.

Forensically important insects associated with the decomposition of mice carrion in Bangladesh

Jahangirnagar University Journal of Biological Sciences, 2016
Investigations on the incidence, abundance and succession of some forensically important insects associated with mammalian carrion and their role in the decomposition of the carrion were carried out in Jahangirnagar University campus, Savar, Bangladesh. A total of twelve insect species under ten insect families belonging three orders were collected and
