This research will provide more accurate, narrower death time estimates for Australia. Focusing enquiries more accurately around the death time will result in significant financial savings in homicide investigations. Court evidence based on insects will become more robust, thus improving prosecution success. Partnerships will also be enhanced between laboratories with common aims, but different experience and expertise, thereby avoiding research duplication and producing synergistic effects of collaboration. Casework methodology in Australia will become better aligned, thus avoiding courtroom conflicts between practitioners. Finally, high quality graduate students will be trained in entomological and forensic sciences.

这项研究将为澳大利亚提供更准确，更窄的死亡时间估计。 更准确地围绕死亡时间进行调查将在凶杀案调查中节省大量资金。基于昆虫的法庭证据将变得更加有力，从而提高起诉的成功率。 具有共同目标但经验和专门知识不同的实验室之间的伙伴关系也将得到加强，从而避免研究重复并产生协作的协同效应。澳大利亚的个案工作方法将更加统一，从而避免从业人员之间的法庭冲突。最后，高质量的研究生将在昆虫学和法医学方面得到培训。
