Determination of Coleoptera fauna on carcasses in Ankara province, Turkey

Insect succession and carrion decomposition in selected forests of Central Europe. Part 2: Composition and residency patterns of carrion fauna

“…The composition of carrion fauna at the family and genus level is similar to that observed in previous European carrion studies [4,[18][19][20][21][22][23]. Interestingly, more than a half of the adult species did not reach the level of minimal abundance even on one carcass.…”

First Report of Dermestes frischii Kugelann (Coleoptera: Dermestidae) on a Human Corpse, South of Iran

“…D. frischii was dominant in this study [7]. This species was reported from animal carcasses in different regions [8,9]. In Iran, dermestid beetles have never been reported from any human corpses so far.…”

Life history data on the fly parasitoids Aleochara nigra Kraatz and A. asiatica Kraatz (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae), and their potential application in forensic entomology

“…Most forensic entomological studies that refer to the genus Aleochara only focussed on their appearance in carrion insect fauna succession [25][26][27]. No study attempted to apply developmental data of necrophagous Aleochara beetles to min PMI estimates.…”
