Simple Summary The post-mortem interval of human cadavers may be estimated based on
insect evidence. In order to identify scientific challenges that pertain to these estimations, I …

Insects play a fundamental ecological role in the decomposition of organic matter. It is the
natural tendency of sarcosaprophagous flies to find and colonize on a food source such as a …

The black soldier fly, Hermetia illucens, is recognised for its use in a forensic context as a
means for estimating the time of colonisation and potentially postmortem interval of …

The use of micro-CT within forensic practice remains an emerging technology, principally
due to its current limited availability to forensic practitioners. This review provides those with …

The minimum postmortem interval (PMI min) is commonly estimated using calliphorid larvae,
for which there are established age estimation methods based on morphological and …

The use of forensic entomology has become established as a global science. Recent efforts
in the field bridge multiple disciplines including, but not limited to, microbiology, chemistry …

Through bibliometric analysis, this study aimed to reveal worldwide research productivity
and trends in forensic entomology over the last two decades (1998–2017). As “forensic …

Studies of model insects have greatly increased our understanding of animal development.
Yet, they are limited in scope to this small pool of model species: a small number of …

Metamorphosis and, in particular, holometaboly, the development of organisms through a
series of discrete stages (egg, larva, pupa, adult) that hardly resemble one another but are …

Microfocus CT (micro-CT) has traditionally been used in industry and preclinical studies,
although it may find new applicability in the routine clinical setting. It can provide high …
