Recovery of male DNA acquired from carrion‐feeding insects in a simulated sexual assault scenario

open access: yesJournal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract When bodies of sexual assault victims are discovered in advanced stages of decomposition, the recovery of direct DNA evidence is often compromised, posing a challenge in criminal investigations. This study aimed to determine insect colonization and succession patterns on pig carcasses inoculated with semen and to assess the feasibility of ...

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.

Cold storage effects on immature calliphoridae: Survival limits and forensic consequences for PMI estimation

open access: yesJournal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigated the effects of continuous refrigeration (4°C ± 2°C and 50% ± 5% RH) on the development and survival of immature stages (eggs, first, second, and third instar larvae, and pupae) of four forensically important blowfly species (Chrysomya megacephala, Chrysomya putoria, Hemilucilia segmentaria, and Lucilia cuprina) compared

Species composition of blow flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) colonizing pig carcasses exposed to bifenthrin‐ and clothianidin‐containing products

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
High clothianidin concentrations prevented colonization, while bifenthrin showed a non‐significant trend of reduced fly abundance, indicating both insecticides may suppress blow fly activity on treated carcasses. Adult emergence rates were unaffected, with no statistically significant differences observed across insecticide treatments, suggesting ...

Diurnal Oviposition of Blow Flies in Different Aged Carrion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Blow flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) are among the first insects to oviposit (lay eggs) on carrion. The timing of blow fly oviposition is critical for determining a postmortem interval (PMI) estimation, which is the time that has passed between death and ...

An inquiry‐based activity to teach about insects of medico‐legal importance: Lessons from Redi's landmark experiment

open access: yesNatural Sciences Education, Volume 55, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract In this article, we describe an inquiry‐based teaching activity developed in a public high school in Brazil. The objectives were to (a) develop an experimental activity grounded on the students’ autonomy for formulating and testing hypotheses, (b) address Biology topics from a historical and multidisciplinary perspective, (c) stimulate skills ...

A simulation-based model of abduction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
International audienceAbduction, or Inference to the Best Explanation (IBE), is a reasoning process that generates possible explanations from a set of "surprising" observations. In this paper, a simulation-based model of abduction is introduced.

Cold EI—The Way to Improve GC‐MS and Increase Its Range of Applications

open access: yesMass Spectrometry Reviews, Volume 45, Issue 3, Page 548-582, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry (GC‐MS) with Cold electron ionization (EI) is based on interfacing the GC and MS with a supersonic molecular beam (SMB) along with electron ionization of vibrationally cold sample compounds in the SMB in a contact‐free fly‐through ion source (hence the name Cold EI).
