The Effect of Soil Type and Moisture on the Development of Forensically Important <i>Megaselia scalaris</i> and <i>Dohrniphora cornuta</i> (Diptera: Phoridae)

The Effect of Soil Type and Moisture on the Development of Forensically Important <i>Megaselia scalaris</i> and <i>Dohrniphora cornuta</i> (Diptera: Phoridae)

Necrophagous phorid flies are common insects found on buried corpses, and their developmental data play a crucial role in estimating the post-burial interval (PBI). This study aimed to investigate the effects of soil type and moisture content on some life cycle parameters of two forensically importa...
