Microbial community succession of submerged bones in an aquatic habitat
Journal of Forensic Sciences, Volume 67, Issue 4, Page 1565-1578, July 2022., 2022 Abstract After death, microbes (including bacteria and fungi) colonize carrion from a variety of sources during the decomposition process. The predictable succession of microbes could be useful for forensics, such as postmortem submersion interval estimation (PMSI) for aquatic deaths.

Soil fungal community shift evaluation as a potential cadaver decomposition indicator [PDF]
, 2015 Fungi metabolise organic matter in situ and so alter both the bio-/physico-chemical properties and microbial community structure of the ecosystem. In particular, they are responsible reportedly for specific stages of decomposition.

Soil Fungal Communities Investigated by Metabarcoding Within Simulated Forensic Burial Contexts
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Decomposition of animal bodies in the burial environment plays a key role in the biochemistry of the soil, altering the balance of the local microbial populations present before the introduction of the carcass.

Application of High-throughput Sequencing in Researches of Cadaveric Microorganisms and Postmortem Interval Estimation [PDF]
Fayixue Zazhi, 2018 Necrobiome is the main factor causing the cadaver decomposition. Studying the microbial succession during decomposition is one of the main tasks of forensic microbiology.

Gene Expression by a Model Fungus in the Ascomycota Provides Insight Into the Decay of Fungal Necromass. [PDF]
Environ MicrobiolWe used RNA sequencing to characterise Trichoderma reesei RUT‐C30 genes and pathways involved in the decomposition of Hyaloscypha bicolor necromass (dead fungal cells and tissues). We showed that T. reesei up‐regulated genes involved in the utilisation of fungal cell wall components such as chitin, glucans, and mannoproteins.

Microbial Growth on Soft Embalmed Cadavers Over Time [PDF]
, 2020 Objectives At their inception, cadaveric anatomical studies were performed without embalming of any kind. Over time, physicians correlated rates of infection and death with cadaveric exposure and cross contamination.

Microorganisms, 2016 Biofilms are a ubiquitous formation of microbial communities found on surfaces in aqueous environments. These structures have been investigated as biomonitoring indicators for stream heath, and here were used for the potential use in forensic sciences ...

Life after Death – Does Carcass Biodiversity scale with carcass body size? [PDF]
, 2022 Mammals play a large role in the ecosystems where some, especially large-bodied mammals, act as ecosystem engineers. Mammal carcasses, particularly those of large body mass act as a temporary island of dense nutrients that support other organisms ...

Primary determinants of communities in deadwood vary among taxa but are regionally consistent
Oikos, Volume 129, Issue 10, Page 1579-1588, October 2020., 2020 The evolutionary split between gymnosperms and angiosperms has far‐reaching implications for the current communities colonizing trees. The inherent characteristics of dead wood include its role as a spatially scattered habitat of plant tissue, transient in time.

Towards quantifying carrion biomass in ecosystems [PDF]
, 2019 The decomposition of animal biomass (carrion) contributes to the recycling of energy and nutrients through ecosystems. Whereas the role of plant decomposition in ecosystems is broadly recognised, the significance of carrion to ecosystem functioning ...
