Minimum and maximum development rates of some forensically important Calliphoridae (Diptera).

摘要: Blow fly development rates are frequently used to estimate elapsed time since death in homicide investigations the first few weeks after death. However, order make more precise estimates of death, accurate developmental data must be generated for all carrion species, and at temperatures that comparable with those found crime scenes. This paper presents determined five forensically important species British Columbia, Phormia regina (Meigen), Phaenicia sericata Eucalliphora latifrons (Hough), Lucilia illustris Calliphora vicina Robineau-Desvoidy, several temperatures.
