Seasonal Necrophagous Insect Community Assembly During Vertebrate Carrion Decomposition

Journal of Medical Entomology, 2013
Necrophagous invertebrates have been documented to be a predominant driver of vertebrate carrion decomposition; however, very little is understood about the assembly of these communities both within and among seasons. The objective of this study was to evaluate the seasonal differences in insect taxa composition, richness, and diversity on carrion over

Contrasting effects of vertebrate and invertebrate herbivores on leaf litter decomposition in terrestrial ecosystems: A meta‐analysis

Functional Ecology
Abstract Herbivores influence litter quality, soil properties and decomposer communities, with cascading effects on litter decomposition. Vertebrate and invertebrate herbivores can affect decomposition through the same two pathways (litter quality‐ and soil‐mediated)

Detailed Vertebral Segmentation Using Part-Based Decomposition and Conditional Shape Models

2015
With the advances in minimal invasive surgical procedures, accurate and detailed extraction of the vertebral boundaries is required. In practice, this is a difficult challenge due to the highly complex geometry of the vertebrae, in particular at the processes. This paper presents a statistical modeling approach for detailed vertebral segmentation based

Dual-Energy CT of Material Decomposition Analysis for Detection with Bone Marrow Edema in Patients with Vertebral Compression Fractures

Academic Radiology, 2020
This study investigated detecting bone marrow edema (BME) in patients with vertebral compression fractures. We compared dual-energy material density analysis images to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which is considered the gold standard.In this retrospective study, 260 vertebral bodies from 30 patients (11 males, 19 females, mean age of 81) were ...

Aquatic Vertebrate Carrion Decomposition

2015
Among the Earth ecosystems, aquatic habitats are comprised of three types: (1) freshwater including standing waters (lentic), for example, natural container habitats such as tree holes or phytotelmata (bromeliads), ponds and lakes, as well as moving water systems (lotic), for example, streams and rivers; (2)  transitional communities such as estuaries

Does sharp force trauma alter blow fly attraction to, colonization of, and decomposition of vertebrate remains?

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, 2019
AbstractForensic entomologists use insect evidence to estimate the minimum postmortem interval of human remains. However, how different forms of trauma influence insect attraction to, and colonization of, the body is poorly understood. Our objective was to identify the Calliphoridae community present in the Piedmont region (Georgia, USA), and determine

Cellulose Decomposition under Nitrogen Deficiency by Bacteria Isolated from the Intestines of Phytophagous Vertebrates

Microbiology, 2003
A nitrogen-fixing strain identified as Klebsiella pneumonia 402-2 and two endoglucanase-synthesizing Bacillus strains were isolated from the intestines of phytophagous animals. One of the Bacillus strains was identified as Bacillus subtilis GL. Klebsiella pneumoniae 402-2 increased the endoglucanase activity of both Bacillusstrains in mixed cultures ...
