Succession of forensically important insects on large mammal carcasses in a central European mixed forest.

法医昆虫学的主要任务是根据人类尸体的昆虫感染情况来估计其长期死亡时间。对当地昆虫区系的确切知识是必不可少的，以实现这一目标。从2009年10月至2010年10月的大型哺乳动物尸体在中欧混合森林的继承进行了研究，使用5头猪的尸体。在尸体上和周围使用了几种主动和被动诱捕系统，总共产生了约20.000只个体昆虫。温度、风力和降雨量在现场同时记录，并从附近的观测站获得。为了确定收集的相关昆虫（主要是双翅目和鞘翅目），熟练的昆虫学家的专业知识是必要的。因此，我们为上述任务申请补助金，并就该主题撰写科学出版物。

The main task of Forensic Entomology is estimation of the long term post mortem interval of a human corpse based to its infestation with insects. The exact knowledge on the local entomofauna is essential to fulfilling this goal.From October 2009 to October 2010 the succession on large mammal cadavers in a Central European mixed forest was studied using five pig carcasses. Several active and passive trap systems were employed on and in the surroundings of the carcasses which yielded a total number of about 20.000 individual insects. Temperature, wind and rainfall were simultaneously recorded on site and obtained from a near-by observatory.In order to determine the relevant insects collected (mainly diptera and coleoptera) the expertise of a skilled entomologist is necessary. We therefore apply for a grant for said task and to write a scientific publication on the subject.
