Nutribloods: Novel synthetic lepidopteran haemolymphs for understanding insect–microbe nutritional interactions in vitro

open access: yesPhysiological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 264-276, September 2025.
We design 20 cell‐free ‘nutribloods’ based on the known composition of Spodoptera littoralis haemolymph for insects fed on 20 chemically defined diets varying in protein and carbohydrate levels. We then compared the growth of the blood‐borne insect bacterium Xenorhabdus nematophila in these 20 nutribloods.

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.

Silver gull carcasses host unique carrion insect communities on a nearshore island

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 3, August 2025.
Abstract Island ecosystems offer unique opportunities to study the dynamics of species that rely on ephemeral resources such as carrion. This study investigated the necrophagous insect communities associated with carrion of silver gulls (Chroicocephalus novaehollandiae) on a small nearshore island off the east coast of Australia, to assess how ...

Comparison of attraction patterns of Hermetia illucens (Diptera, Stratiomyidae) associated to buried Rattus norvergicus carcasses with steroid hormones treatment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Hermetia illucens (L.) (Diptera, Stratiomyidae) é uma espécie abundante em todo o continente americano. No entanto, ainda há poucos estudos no Brasil abordando aspectos em relação a sua biologia e ecologia, em particular associados a estudos forenses ...

Encouraging native predators of invasive yellow‐legged hornets: breeding habitat preferences of European honey buzzards in exotic Eucalyptus plantations

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 7, Page 3704-3714, July 2025.
Our study revealed a positive relationship between the structural complexity of forest plantations and their capacity to deliver regulating ecosystem services. The likelihood of occurrence and the density of breeding pairs of European honey buzzards increased in proportion to the structural complexity of Eucalyptus forest plantations: large trees ...

Thermoregulation in P. Terraenovae aggregations, an agent-based approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
International audienceThis paper deals with an important issue of forensic entomology: the estimation of the temperature in a "maggot mass". An agent-based model of the thermoregulation behaviour of fly (Protophormia terraenovae) larvae is described ...

Testing the efficacy of surface swab sampling to determine postmortem submersion interval (PMSI), using the microbiome colonization of skeletal remains

open access: yesJournal of Forensic Sciences, Volume 70, Issue 4, Page 1261-1273, July 2025.
Abstract Postmortem interval (PMI) estimation contributes valuable information in the medicolegal investigation of decomposed human remains, and estimating the postmortem submersion interval (PMSI) can specifically aid investigations involving victims discovered in aquatic environments.

Portable Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy and machine learning for sex determination in third instar Chrysomya rufifacies larvae

open access: yesJournal of Forensic Sciences, Volume 70, Issue 4, Page 1468-1479, July 2025.
Abstract Forensic entomology is crucial in medicolegal investigations, utilizing insects—primarily flies—to estimate a supplemental post‐mortem interval based on their development at the (death) scene. This estimation can be influenced by extrinsic factors like temperature and humidity, as well as intrinsic factors such as species and sex.
