Sarcophagidae) in the temporal gradient of pig decomposition in the Brazilian Cerrado

Summary

The article examines how flesh fly species succession on pig carcasses can be used as forensic indicators in Brazil's Cerrado biome, emphasizing the need for season-specific indicators due to different decomposition dynamics influenced by varying climatic factors. Entomology informs the study's focus on decomposition, composting, and biostratinomy processes analyzed for their relevance in forensic science, particularly in the context of anaerobic digestion phases and the identification of R. belforti as a significant indicator species.
