Scavenger Assemblage Behavior at Puma Kills in the Santa Cruz Mountains, California

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
The count of the number of kills visited for each scavenger species and the number of kills where the species was the first to discover the carcass. ABSTRACT Scavengers structure food webs through consuming carrion and cycling nutrients in ecosystems. Scavenger assemblages are shaped by multiple factors, including intra‐ and interspecific competition ...

Distinction among the puparia of three blowfly species (Diptera: Calliphoridae) frequently found on unburied corpses

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2001
Calliphorid larvae are important in the decomposition of carrion. Since these larvae are present in the primary stages of succession on carcasses, they may be important indicators of death time and the movement of corpses in homicide investigations.

Death and Decomposition in Aquatic Ecosystems

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Resource subsidies affect nutrient cycling, species interactions, and food webs in ways that influence ecosystem structure and function, but their effects depend on the history, magnitude, and recurrence frequency of the subsidies. In aquatic ecosystems,

Comparative analysis of bones, mites, soil chemistry, nematodes and soil micro-Eukaryotes from a suspected homicide to estimate the post-mortem interval [PDF]

, 2018
Criminal investigations of suspected murder cases require estimating the post-mortem interval (PMI, or time after death) which is challenging for longer periods. Here we present the case of human remains found in a Swiss forest.

Gap Analysis of Metabolic Conversions of Off‐Flavors and Antinutrients in Plant‐Based Substrates

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT To drastically reduce the carbon footprint of the food production chain, a major shift towards alternatives to conventional meat and dairy products is required. The use of plant‐based proteins is a promising route, but it also comes with challenges: Plant‐based proteins often contain antinutritional factors and off‐flavors, which can ...

Purchasing Power Parity for Developing and Developed Countries. What can we Learn from Non-Stationary Panel Data Models? [PDF]

The aim of this paper is to apply recently developed panel cointegration techniques proposed by Pedroni (1999, 2004) and generalized by Banerjee and Carrion-i-Silvestre (2006) to examine the robustness of the PPP concept for a sample of 80 developed and ...

Post-mortem implications of suicidal organophosphate on the rate of decomposition and necrophagous dipteran signatures on Sus scrofa L. carrions

Egyptian Journal of Forensic Sciences
Background Necrophagous insects, particularly species belonging to the order Diptera, have been utilized in forensic entomology for the estimation of the minimum post-mortem interval germane to the establishment of guilt or innocence during medicolegal ...

Hermitian versus holomorphic complex and quaternionic generalized supersymmetries of the M-theory. A classification

, 2004
Relying upon the division-algebra classification of Clifford algebras and spinors, a classification of generalized supersymmetries (or, with a slight abuse of language,"generalized supertranslations") is provided.
