Temporal distribution of ten calyptrate dipteran species of medicolegal importance in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Temporal distribution of blowflies of forensic importance (Diptera: Calliphoridae), in man-size domestic pigs carcasses, in the Forest Reserve Adolpho Ducke, Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil

“…The published Brazilian studies on forensic ecological communities, that used domestic pigs as models, also used pseudoreplicates (CarvalhO et al 2000;CarvalhO et al 2001CarvalhO et al , 2004marChiOri et al 2000;Oliveira-da-silva et al (2006);BarBOsa et al 2010;Biavati et al 2010;Mise et al 2010).…”

Pictorial identification key for species of Sarcophagidae (Diptera) of potential forensic importance in southern Brazil

“…Experiments using animal carcasses have proved important to forensics because they provide data on the local insect fauna relevant to the decomposition process (Barbosa et al 2010). Undeniably, forensic entomology can only be applied in areas where the composition and biology of the insect fauna at different stages of carrion decomposition are already known.…”

DNA-based identification of forensically important species of Sarcophagidae (Insecta: Diptera) from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

“…We selected a total of 36 specimens comprising three species that were of potential forensic importance (Carvalho et al, 2000;Barbosa et al, 2009;Barbosa et al, 2010;Oliveira and Vasconcelos, 2010), namely: O. fluminensis, P. intermutans, and P. chrysostoma. To determine possible haplotype variations of the population, these species were sampled at three sites in the City of Rio de Janeiro.…”
