大型贝类的生物学可能为解释围绕人类死亡和分解的环境条件提供了新的场所。对三具人类身体进行了分析，其中一具来自瑞典，两具来自西班牙。在西班牙东南部一处受欢迎的海滩地区发现了一具身体。它们的到来恰逢它们的主要载体物种之一--污蝇Fannia scalaris的出现，其活动在仲夏达到顶峰。Macrocheles graer(Müler)标本是在夏末从瑞典森林的一个浅坟墓中收集的身体上采集的，同时甲虫也被身体的气味吸引而到来。在西班牙南部格拉纳达市的农村地区，人们从室内发现的一具身体中提取了Macrocheles pergraer Filipponi和Pegazzano成虫的样本。这一物种的磷化行为与光肩星天牛相似，但它更专属于金龟科和地龟科的金龟子，它们中的大多数喜欢人类的粪便。Macrocheles Muscaedomesticae是从城市和农村地区和家禽养殖场知道的，M.Obler从户外，特别是乡下知道，而M.pergraer从户外、农村和偏远的潜在山区知道。Macrocheles Muscaedomesticae和M.pergraer为伊比利亚半岛首次报道。这是从人类遗骸中首次记录到的M。
The biology of macrochelid mites might offer new venues for the interpretation of the environmental conditions surrounding human death and decomposition. Three human corpses, one from Sweden and two from Spain, have been analysed for the occurrence of Macrochelidae species. Macrocheles muscaedomesticae (Scopoli) females were associated with a corpse that was found in a popular beach area of southeast Spain. Their arrival coincides with the occurrence of one of their major carrier species, the filth fly Fannia scalaris, the activity of which peaks during mid-summer. Macrocheles glaber (Müller) specimens were collected from a corpse in a shallow grave in a forest in Sweden at the end of summer, concurrent with the arrival of beetles attracted by odours from the corpse. Macrocheles perglaber Filipponi and Pegazzano adults were sampled from a corpse found indoors in the rural surroundings of Granada city, south Spain. The phoretic behaviour of this species is similar to that of M. glaber, but it is more specific to Scarabaeidae and Geotrupidae dung beetles, most of which favour human faeces. Macrocheles muscaedomesticae is known from urban and rural areas and poultry farms, M. glaber from outdoors, particularly the countryside, whereas M. perglaber is known from outdoor, rural, and remote, potentially mountainous locations. Macrocheles muscaedomesticae and M. perglaber are reported for the first time from the Iberian Peninsula. This is the first record of M. perglaber from human remains.
