“…The earliest time at which the carcass or corpse was exposed to insects and, thus, the latest time of environmental exposure can be estimated by investigating larval development at several constant temperatures [1][2][3][4]. The effects of temperature on blowfly (Diptera: Calliphoridae) development rate have been studied extensively [4], most notably in the genera Calliphora Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830, Chrysomya Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830, and Lucilia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830. An optimal temperature range for most species has been identified to be between 20 and 30°C, with development and survival being compromised at temperatures outside this range [7,8].…”
