Species Composition and Succession of Necrophagous Insects on Small Buried Baits in China.

The postburial interval (PBI) can be inferred by using necrophagous insects colonizing the buried corpse. In different seasons, the species composition and succession of necrophagous insects on swine carrion (0.5-0.

Characterization and Phylogenetic Analysis of the Complete Mitochondrial Genomes of Two Tiny Necrophagous Phorid Flies, Metopina sagittata and Puliciphora borinquenensis (Diptera: Phoridae).

The mitochondrial genome is frequently used for species identification and phylogenetic studies. In this study, we first sequenced and annotated the complete mitochondrial genomes of two phorid species that are forensically important in buried or enclosed environments: Metopina sagittata (Liu) and Puliciphora borinquenensis (Wheeler). The complete mitochondrial genome sequences of M.
