Competition for food resources affects time-of-deathestimation variables in the forensic-relevant fly species Lucilia sericata and Calliphora vicina

Competition for food resources affects time-of-deathestimation variables in the forensic-relevant fly species Lucilia sericata and Calliphora vicina

In forensic entomology, larval density and competition for food resources among the first cadaver-colonizing insects can affect the accuracy and reliability of the estimated time of death as the minimal postmortem interval (mPMI). This study evaluated the impact of intra- and interspecific food reso...
