Blow Flies Visiting Decaying Alligators: Is Succession Synchronous or Asynchronous?
Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, 2009 Succession patterns of adult blow flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) on decaying alligators were investigated in Mobile (Ala, USA) during August 2002. The most abundant blow fly species visiting the carcasses were Chrysomya rufifacies (Macquart), Cochliomyia

Molecular Diversity of Three Forensically Relevant Dipterans from Cadavers in Lahore, Pakistan [PDF]
InsectsMolecular diversity, which reflects variation in species abundance and genetic structure, plays a pivotal role in forensic entomology by enabling the accurate identification of insect evidence through tools such as DNA barcoding. In Pakistan, the absence

Portable Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and machine learning for sex determination in third instar Chrysomya rufifacies larvae. [PDF]
J Forensic SciAbstract Forensic entomology is crucial in medicolegal investigations, utilizing insects—primarily flies—to estimate a supplemental post‐mortem interval based on their development at the (death) scene. This estimation can be influenced by extrinsic factors like temperature and humidity, as well as intrinsic factors such as species and sex.

Decomposition Dynamics of an Orangutan (<i>Pongo pygmaeus morio</i>) Carcass in a Tropical Forest: Implications for Conservation Practices. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe documented the complete decomposition process of a wild Bornean orangutan carcass in a lowland dipterocarp forest in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo. This represents the first detailed observation of great ape decomposition in Borneo. Our study provides a rare insight into the often‐overlooked process of carcass breakdown and decomposition in tropical ...

Chrysomya rufifacies: Developmental Analysis Over Range of Temperature
MARKHOR (The Journal of Zoology), 2023 Forensic entomology deals with the study of insects used in criminal investigations. Insects are drawn from the beginning to the decaying carcass and deposit their eggs. Forensic investigators can easily identify the cause of death, the postmortem index, and any changes in the posture of the dead body by observing the insect larval growth and ...
