Abstract: Minimum post-mortem interval (minPMI) estimates often rely on the use of developmental data from blow flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae), which are generally the first colonisers of cadavers and, therefore, exemplar forensic indicators. Developmental data of the… read more here.

Abstract: Blow-fly (Diptera: Calliphoridae) immatures are the main colonizers of decomposing remains, and any information on what influences their growth and development are important to forensic entomologists when they are required to estimate post-mortem intervals during… read more here.

Abstract: Estimating the age of immature blow flies is of great importance for forensic entomology. However, no gold‐standard technique for an accurate determination of the intra‐puparial age has yet been established. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy… read more here.
