Spectral Characterization of the Life Stages and Physiological Responses of Diatraea saccharalis Fabricius (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) Larvae Parasitized by Cotesia flavipes Cameron (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 5, Page 436-452, May 2026.
Hyperspectral proximal sensing was used to characterize the life stages and physiological responses of Diatraea saccharalis and to detect parasitism by Cotesia flavipes. Distinct spectral signatures differentiated eggs, larval instars, pupae, and adults, as well as live, dead, and parasitized larvae.

Application of forensic entomology in crime scene investigations in Malaysia / Kavitha Rajagopal [PDF]

, 2013
Forensic entomology is the application and study of insect biology to criminal matters. One of the most important aspects of forensic entomology is the usage of maggot found in dead human body to determine the post-mortem interval (PMI).

Necrophagous Insects and Internal Temperature Synergistically Determine Duration of the Decomposition Process for Deer Carcasses When Vertebrate Scavengers are Excluded

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Predicted survival curves from the accelerated failure time (AFT) model showing the probability that deer carcass weight remains above 30% of its initial value over time. Curves represent predictions at −1 SD, mean, and + 1 SD of each covariate (initial body weight, average air temperature, and duration until the first peak in internal carcass ...

Raman Signature of the Wings of the Globe Skimmer Dragonfly: Pantala flavescens

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, Volume 57, Issue 4, Page 578-588, April 2026.
Raman spectroscopy is used to confirm the presence of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons and related derivatives including aldehydes, halides, alcohols, acids, esters, and phenols on the wings of Pantala flavescens. The analysis indicates that wing‐surface lipid composition is largely consistent across the three main ecological zones in Ghana. Notably,

State of the art and new directions using DNA and other molecular markers in forensic entomology

Academia Biology
In parallel with the entire field of forensic science, forensic entomology has been dramatically transformed through the incorporation of DNA and other molecular markers into its practices. Beginning with the use of single mitochondrial genes,

The whole mitochondrial genome of Sarcophaga kanoi (Diptera: Sarcophagidae)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
Sarcophaga kanoi Park, 1962, a widely distributed flesh fly in Southeast Asia, is important in forensic entomology. Notably, its mitochondrial genome could provide the unique and accurate molecular information in species identification which facilitate ...

A Regional DNA Barcode Library for Northern Rocky Mountain Arthropods to Support Biodiversity and Molecular Ecological Research

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
We developed the MPG Ranch Arthropod Library (MPG‐AL), a COI DNA barcode reference library for arthropods of the Northern Rocky Mountains, to address gaps in barcode coverage for the western United States. From 86,533 specimens collected in Montana, we generated 52,270 DNA barcodes spanning 38 orders and 1793 species, adding 5154 Barcode Index Numbers (

PMI estimation of mutilated body parts recovered in the North of Italy [PDF]

, 2012
The occurrence of cases of dismembered corpses is infrequent. Usually the practice of dismemberment is correlated to the needs of the murderer(s) to hide or more easily transport their victim.

A Cross‐Disciplinary Analysis of AI Policies in Academic Peer Review

Learned Publishing, Volume 39, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Rapid advances of artificial intelligence (AI) have substantially impacted the field of academic publishing. This study examines AI integration in peer review by analysing policies from 439 high‐ and 363 middle‐impact factor (IF) journals across disciplines. Using grounded theory, we identify patterns in AI policy adoption. Results show 83% of
