Experimental evaluation on the applicability of necrobiome analysis in forensic veterinary science [PDF]
MicrobiologyOpen, 2019 Despite the wide usage of animals as models in forensic studies, the investigations of fundamental legal questions involving domesticated and nondomesticated animals were always given marginal attention compared to “human forensic,” and only recently the

Carcasses at Fixed Locations Host a Higher Diversity of Necrophilous Beetles [PDF]
Insects, 2021 In contrast to other necromass, such as leaves, deadwood, or dung, the drivers of insect biodiversity on carcasses are still incompletely understood.

Time Series Resolution of the Fish Necrobiome Reveals a Decomposer Succession Involving Toxigenic Bacterial Pathogens [PDF]
MSystems, 2020 Despite progress understanding microbial communities involved in terrestrial vertebrate decomposition, little is known about the microbial decomposition of aquatic vertebrates from a functional and environmental context.

The final frontier: using carcasses for one health surveillance at the ecosystem interface [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary ScienceAnthropogenic activities such as agricultural intensification, urbanisation, globalisation, and climate change are accelerating disease emergence globally, yet surveillance systems have largely overlooked the critical role of vertebrate carcasses in ...

Necrobiome framework for bridging decomposition ecology of autotrophically and heterotrophically derived organic matter [PDF]
Ecological Monographs, 2019 Decomposition contributes to global ecosystem function by contributing to nutrient recycling, energy flow, and limiting biomass accumulation. The decomposer organisms influencing this process form diverse, complex, and highly dynamic communities that ...

Factors influencing carrion communities are only partially consistent with those of deadwood necromass. [PDF]
Oecologia, 2023 Research on decomposer communities has traditionally focused on plant litter or deadwood. Even though carrion forms highly nutrient-rich necromass that enhance ecosystem heterogeneity, the factors infuencing saprophytic communities remain largely unknown.

The Future Is Now: Unraveling the Expanding Potential of Human (Necro)Microbiome in Forensic Investigations [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2023 The relevance of postmortem microbiological examinations has been controversial for decades, but the boom in advanced sequencing techniques over the last decade is increasingly demonstrating their usefulness, namely for the estimation of the postmortem ...

A Combined Application of Molecular Microbial Ecology and Elemental Analyses Can Advance the Understanding of Decomposition Dynamics [PDF]
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Introducing animal carbon-source to soil initiates biochemical and microbial processes that lead to its decomposition and recycling, which subsequently cause successional shifts in soil microbial community.

Microbial succession from a subsequent secondary death event following mass mortality [PDF]
BMC Microbiology, 2020 Background Each death event can be characterized by its associated microbes – a living community of bacteria composed of carcass, soil, and insect-introduced bacterial species – a necrobiome.
