Forensic entomology in Germany
Forensic Science International, 2000Forensic entomology (FE) is increasingly gaining international recognition. In Germany, however, the development of FE has been stagnating, mainly because of the lack of cooperation between police, forensic medicine and entomology.

Necrophagous insects are important in the decomposition of cadavers. The close association between insects and corpses and the use of insects in medicocriminal investigations is the subject of forensic entomology. The present paper reviews the historical background of this discipline, important postmortem processes, and discusses the scientific basis ...

Forensic Science International, 2004Forensic entomology establishes the postmortem interval (PMI) by studying cadaveric fauna. The PMI today is still largely based on tables of insect succession on human cadavers compiled in the late 19th- or mid-20th centuries. In the last few years, however, the gradual warming of the climate has been changing faunal communities by favouring the ...

Forensic Entomology in Criminal Investigations
Annual Review of Entomology, 1992Forensic entomology is the application of the study of insects and other arthropods to legal issues, especially in a court of law. The past decade has seen a resurgence of interest in forensic investigations by entomologists. Lord & Stevenson (83) identified three categories of forensic entomology: urban, stored-product, and medicolegal. Urban forensic

Forensic entomology is a valuable tool and potentially the only means of identifying the post-mortem interval of a dead human or animal, when time of death determination is beyond the time frame in which the forensic pathologist can operate. It can provide a means of determining the time since infestation of a product or location where food ...
