2009年，美国国家研究委员会（National Research Council）建议法医学加强其在基础实证研究中的基础，以减轻批评，提高准确性和可靠性。对于基于dna的鉴定，这一目标是在群体遗传学界的指导下实现的。这一努力使DNA分析成为法医学的“黄金标准”。此外，我们提出了一个简化分解生态学研究的框架，该框架促进了收集和应用数据的定量方法，以用于涉及分解人类遗骸的法医调查。为了扩展这一方法的生态学方面，本综述侧重于法医昆虫学，尽管该框架可以扩展到其他分解领域。
In 2009, the National Research Council recommended that the forensic sciences strengthen their grounding in basic empirical research to mitigate against criticism and improve accuracy and reliability. For DNA-based identification, this goal was achieved under the guidance of the population genetics community. This effort resulted in DNA analysis becoming the ‘gold standard' of the forensic sciences. Elsewhere, we proposed a framework for streamlining research in decomposition ecology, which promotes quantitative approaches to collecting and applying data to forensic investigations involving decomposing human remains. To extend the ecological aspects of this approach, this review focuses on forensic entomology, although the framework can be extended to other areas of decomposition.
