Forensic entomology and main challenges in Brazil

open access: yes, 2006
Apart from an early case report from China (13(th) century), the first observations on insects and other arthropods as forensic indicators were documented in Germany and France during mass exhumations in the 1880s by Reinhard, who is considered a co ...

Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) Associated with Pig Carcasses in an Urban Area

open access: yesSociobiology, 2015
The study of cadaver fauna is the most important aspect of forensic entomology, and it is based on successional patterns of insects that feed on decaying carcasses.

The soil environment and forensic entomology

open access: yes, 2009
Cadaver decomposition involves complex chemical processes that are readily influenced by surrounding conditions. A body decomposing in an outdoor environment will be affected by ecological conditions such as climate, vegetation, and the soil environment.

Records of Chrysomya albiceps in Northern Italy: an ecological and forensic perspective [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Knowledge of the carrion-breeding insects present at a local level is important and necessary for defining the post-mortem interval. Climate changes and globalisation are affecting species ranges and population dynamics.

A Summary of Concepts, Procedures and Techniques Used by Forensic Entomologists and Proxies

open access: yesInsects, 2023
Forensic entomology is a branch of forensic science that incorporates insects as a part of solving crime. Insect-based evidence recovered at a crime scene can be used to estimate the minimum postmortem interval, determine if a carcass/corpse has been ...

Temperature models of development for Necrodes littoralis L. (Coleoptera: Silphidae), a carrion beetle of forensic importance in the Palearctic region

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Analysis of insects can provide evidence in death cases, for example, by answering the question about the time of death. Apart from flies, beetles are the second most useful insect group in forensic entomology.

The European honey buzzard (Pernis apivorus) as an ally for the control of the invasive yellow‐legged hornet (Vespa velutina nigrithorax)

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 2237-2247, April 2025.
The predatory effect of the honey‐buzzard affects the reproductive performance of Asian‐hornet colonies, decreasing the density of workers over distance and time. The foraging distances of the honey‐buzzard concentrates within the first 2000 m from nest, which supports the results observed.

Effects of bleach on carcass postmortem microbiomes and necrophagous beetle carcass attendance and their internal microbiomes

open access: yesJournal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Forensic entomology, and potentially microbiology in the future, can be used during death investigations to corroborate an estimated time since death. Instances where products are introduced to a cadaver, either in attempt to conceal or by accident, can affect decomposition and succession of associated decomposer taxa (i.e., insects and ...
