• Abstract

  Diptera are known as being associated to a number of human-modified environments, therefore being of medical and sanitary importance. On the other hand, they can be useful tools in medico-legal investigations for they can be used to estimate the post mortem interval, mainly in cases of suspicious deaths. For this reason, they are considered to be of great importantce in Forensic Medicine.…

  Molecular caracterization and philogenetic analysis of Sarcophagidae species (Diptera) and confection of interative taxonomic keys for species of Fanniidae and Calliphoridae of medical, veterinary and forensic importance from Southeastern Brazil (Diptera), AP.R

• Abstract

  One of the main uses of insects in forensic investigations is done by estimating the postmortem interval (PMI) using the knowledge about the biology, ecology and geographical distribution of the insect, and the behavior of all animals present in a body to estimate the time between the occurrence of death. Several factors can interfere in the life cycle of an insect such as temperature, hu…

• Abstract

  Insects and other arthropods, when associated with decomposing bodies, can assist the progress or completion of an investigative process. The main applications within the forensic sciences concern the estimation of postmortem interval (PMI), infer whether there was movement of the body and to investigate possible cause of death in the latter case, particularly on situations where the vict…

  Thermal requirements of two species of Chrysomya (Diptera: Calliphoridae) reared under different temperatures and food substrates, BP.DR

• Abstract

  Despite the reports on the great abundance of Agelaia pallipes at vertebrate carcasses, and the aggression shown by this wasp towards carrion flies - aspects that highlight that A. pallipes may be much more important in carrion decomposition than previously thought - very little is known about the actual forensic importance of this social wasp, whose records at carrion are mainly based on…
