A review of the estimation of postmortem interval using forensic entomology

Medicine, Science and the Law
The postmortem interval (PMI) is a crucial factor in death investigations. For PMIs exceeding 24 h the forensic pathologist must turn to other specialties that focus on decompositional ecology of animals, including humans. Primary among these specialties

A Comprehensive Overview of Forensic Entomology

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ETHICS TRAUMA & VICTIMOLOGY, 2021
Arthropods comprise the most ubiquitous species globally that play a key role in the decomposition process of a corpse. The entomological analysis of species commonly associated with carrion can provide valuable insights in investigations which forms the

Decomposition dynamics and Calliphoridae succession in forest and urban environments of Constantine (Northeast of Algeria): implications for forensic entomology

Australian Journal of Forensic Sciences
Forensic entomology serves a vital role in criminal investigations, contributing to the determination of time of colonization (TOC), minimum post-mortem interval (minPMI), and other forensic evidence related to the decomposition process. This study aimed

Retrospective review of forensic entomology casework in eastern Australia from 1994 to 2022.

Forensic Science International
Forensic entomology can be a crucial source of information for medicolegal investigations, with its most well-known application being for estimating minimum post-mortem interval (mPMI) in death investigations.

Report of forensically relevant insects collected from pig and rabbit remains during two forensic entomology workshops in Eastern Massachusetts

Journal of Forensic Sciences
Forensic entomology relies on known geographic ranges and seasonal presence of forensically relevant insects. In the Northeastern United States, there is no information on species in the region in early spring.

Temporal variability of the rove beetle (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) community on small vertebrate carrion and its potential use for forensic entomology.

Forensic Science International, 2021
Rove beetles (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) are one of the most important colonizers of vertebrate cadavers. We have previously investigated carrion-associated rove beetle communities across various forests and demonstrated that the study regions are the ...

Research trends on forensic entomology for five decades worldwide.

Legal Medicine
Forensic entomology, the study of insects and arthropods in criminal investigations, is crucial for estimating postmortem intervals, determining changes in corpse positioning, and identifying causes of death. This study analyzes global research trends in

Development of Dermestes tessellatocollis Motschulsky under different constant temperatures and its implication in forensic entomology.

Forensic Science International, 2021
Dermestidae generally appears on dry corpses and carcasses, especially if mummified or skeletonized. They are forensically important insect species for estimating longer postmortem intervals (PMI).
