Changes to vertebrate tissue stable isotope (δ15N) composition during decomposition [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2019 AbstractDuring carcass decomposition, tissues undergo biochemical changes: Cells autolyze, enteric microbes ferment cellular products, and tissues degrade. Ultimately, decomposition fluids are released as an ephemeral nitrogen (N) and carbon source to the surrounding environment. However, decomposition fluids are δ15N-enriched relative to body tissues,

Uncovering Forensic Taphonomic Agents: Animal Scavenging in the European Context
Biology, 2022 Animal scavenging by vertebrates can significantly alter human bodies and their deposition site. For instance, vertebrate animals can cause postmortem modification to a body, alter perimortem trauma, influence decomposition rates, disarticulate and ...

Vertebral Tumor Detection and Segmentation Using Analytical Transform Assisted Statistical Characteristic Decomposition Model [PDF]
IEEE Access, 2020 Recently, vertebral tumor prediction using image-based vertebral bio-mathematical modeling with accurate segmentation has been considered as a significant area of research. Further, precise lumbar spinal segmentation is essential to the clinicians for tumor analysis.

Insects, 2020 During decomposition, vertebrate carrion emits volatile organic compounds to which insects and other scavengers are attracted. We have previously found that the dung beetle, Anoplotrupes stercorosus, is the most common dung beetle found on vertebrate ...

Nutrient and moisture transfer to insect consumers and soil during vertebrate decomposition [PDF]
Food Webs, 2019 Decomposition of organic matter leads to the redistribution of nutrients to organisms and the environment. Yet knowledge of this process has focused largely on plant-derived organic matter, with little known about relative quantities of nutrients and moisture transferred from decomposing animal remains to insect consumers and soil. We used a replicated

Diversity, 2023 Even in human-dominated regions such as urban and agricultural areas, there are organisms involved in the decomposition of animal carcasses. Therefore, it is possible that these complementary decomposition functions occur in different habitats.

Accurate Segmentation of Vertebral Bodies and Processes Using Statistical Shape Decomposition and Conditional Models [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging, 2015 Detailed segmentation of the vertebrae is an important pre-requisite in various applications of image-based spine assessment, surgery and biomechanical modeling. In particular, accurate segmentation of the processes is required for image-guided interventions, for example for optimal placement of bone grafts between the transverse processes. Furthermore,

The discrepancy between fire ant recruitment to and performance on rodent carrion
Scientific Reports, 2022 Ants have not been considered important in the process of vertebrate carrion decomposition, but a recent literature review reported over 150 carrion-visiting ant species.
