Parental care and competition with microbes in carrion beetles: a study of ecological adaptation
Animal Behaviour, 2016The investigation of the function of a complex adaptation can benefit from multiple approaches. We used comparative study and physical simulation to re-examine the hypothesis that parental adaptations enable carrion beetles (Silphidae) to better compete with carrion microbes.

Studying Movement of Avian Scavengers to Understand Carrion Ecology
2019Scavenging is a key process in the ecosystems. Studying foraging movements of obligate scavengers such as vultures can contribute to a better understanding of the scavenging-related patterns and processes. Here we review methods that can be used to track foraging vultures in the field.

Population Ecology of Cavernicoles Associated with Carrion in Caves of Georgia, USA
Journal of Entomological Science, 2001The abundance of troglophilic Megaselia spp. (Diptera: Phoridae), trogloxenic Calliphora vicina Robineau-Desvoidy (Diptera: Calliphoridae), and troglobitic Ptomaphagus whiteselli Barr (Coleoptera: Leiodidae) on carrion was studied in two caves in Georgia, USA.

Synthesis and Future Perspectives on Carrion Ecology and Management
2019In this chapter we draw a general synthesis of the emerging and understudied field of carrion ecology, summarizing the main conclusions of the book and highlight some key questions identified by the chapters’ authors as the most relevant to answer in this field in the near future. Finally, we identify some challenges scavengers and scavenging processes

The Calliphoridae (blow flies) and the Sarcophagidae (flesh flies) are families of Diptera containing many necrophagous species which contemporaneously exploit rabbit carrion during the summer season in central California. Calliphorids are the dominant inhabitants, but small populations of sarcophagids regularly occur on carcasses.

Journal of Tropical Ecology, 2005
Temporal variation in activity of dung and carrion beetles in tropical forest is considered as a mechanism of ecological segregation between potentially competing species. We describe the diel flight activity of Scarabaeidae collected with baited pitfall traps at Les Nouragues field station in French Guiana.

Data on the insect species associated with corpse decomposition are particularly important for estimation of the post‐mortem interval (PMI) in forensic science because the PMI is based on the lifecycle and behaviour of necrophagous insects, among other measures. To determine the dipteran succession on pig carrion, four experiments,

Gut Ecology: Meat Science, Modernity, and Carrion Aversion in Gandhi’s India
Configurations, 2017This essay examines debates about carrion eating in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century India. Although proscriptions against carrion eating among the noncaste Hindus were entangled in Indian anticolonial, nationalist, and cow-protection movements, “Gut Ecology” places the subject in the material contexts of bacteriology, the study of zoonotic
