Early postmortem changes and stages of decomposition / M. Lee Goff -- Keys for identification of immature insects / Patricia J. Thyssen -- Key for the identification of third instars of European blowflies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) of forensic importance / Krzysztof Szpila -- The utility of Coleoptera in forensic investigations / John M. Midgley, Cameron S. Richards, and Martin H. Villet -- Phoretic mites and carcasses: Acari transported by organisms associated with animal and human decomposition / M. Alejandra Perotti, Henk R. Braig, and M. Lee Goff -- Indoor arthropods of forensic importance : insects associated with indoor decomposition and mites as indoor markers / Crystal L. Frost ... [et al.] -- Contemporary precision, bias and accuracy of minimum post-mortem intervals estimated using development of carrion-feeding insects / Martin H. Villet, Cameron S. Richards, and John M. Midgley -- Analysing forensic entomology data using additive mixed effects modelling / Elena N. Ieno ... [et al.] -- Toxicology and forensic entomology / Lucila Maria Lopes de Carvalho -- Cuticular hydrocarbons : a new tool in forensic entomology? / Falko P. Drijfhout -- Exploiting insect olfaction in forensic entomology / Heléne N. LéBlanc and James G. Logan -- Decomposition and invertebrate colonization of cadavers in coastal marine environments / Gail S. Anderson -- The insects colonisation of buried remains / Emmanuel Gaudry -- Forensic implications of myiasis / M. Lee Goff, Carlo P. Campobasso, and Mirella Gherardi -- Climate change and forensic entomology / Margherita Turchetto and Stefano Vanin -- Future trends in forensic entomology / Jens Amendt ... [et al.].
Summary: 20 years ago the use of entomology in a crime scene investigation was considered bizarre, despite the solid scientific background and documented historical applications. Today, the use of insect evidence is an accepted sub-discipline in modern forensic science.
