Spatial distribution and habitat preference of sarcosaprophagus Calliphoridae (Diptera) in the Brazilian Northeast, with notes on the utilization of different animal baits.

Brazil is a country with one of the greatest biodiversities in the world, in addition to the high diversity of biomes that directly influences the composition of fauna and flora. In this context, the analysis of the potential distribution of calliphorids in the Northeast can generate important information for forensic entomology and conservation biology. This study aims to identify the current and potential distribution of the main species of flies from the family Calliphoridae of forensic interest in the Northeast region of Brazil.
