Climate change and deforestation are causing rainforests to become increasingly
fragmented, placing them at heightened risk of biodiversity loss. Invertebrates constitute the …

Invasive species often undergo demographic bottlenecks that cause a decrease in genetic
diversity and associated reductions in population fitness. Despite this, they manage to thrive …

Forensic entomology can be a crucial source of information for medicolegal investigations,
with its most well-known application being for estimating minimum post-mortem interval …

Many insect pollinator-dependent crops heavily rely on managed honey bees for pollination,
yet flies and other wild taxa can be highly abundant and efficient, thus having potential as …

Highly competitive ephemeral resources like carrion tend to support much greater diversity
relative to longer-lived resources. The coexistence of diverse communities on short-lived …

Recent conceptual and empirical developments in decomposition research have highlighted
the intricate dynamics within necrobiome communities and the roles of various decay …

Empirical data on decomposition ecology have long established blowflies (Calliphoridae)
