The use of insects as forensic evidence is a typical tool in criminal investigations. Among other applications, the succession patterns of these organisms are used to infer the time when the remains are decomposing. More recently, the use of stable isotopes in forensic science has been intensifying through numerous applications. In isotopic ecology, ´13C is used to trace food sources and …
In forested headwater streams, the material supply of the riparian zone is extremely important in providing energy and nutrients to the system. Changes in land use end up changing supplies and nutrient flows between aquatic and terrestrial means, and leaves them unprotected. Restoration of streams through the recovery of riparian forests has been used with the aim to reestablish the ecosy…
Despite the great biological importance of the Atlantic Forest, this is finds seriously threatened by human action through, for example, the change in land use, being left about 8% of its original cover. This devastation includes degradation of its water systems which are linked to important processes such as energy transfer and nutrient cycling in the ecosystem. Much of the energy in aqu…
Forensic entomology is an important tool in criminal investigations. During the decomposition process, carcasses undergo physical and chemical changes. Necrophagous organisms that feed on those decomposed tissues could reflect such chemical changes. In forensic applications, insect cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) have been used in chemotaxonomic identification, age estimation, and geographi…
Anthropic activities cause the increase of pollutants concentrations in the environment. These can interfere in energy and nutrient flow and, consequently, endanger aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Metal pollutants have been caused great concern due to their environmental persistence, toxicity and incorporation capacity in food webs. Mining is an important economic activity in the worl…
