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昆虫的侵扰来估计人类身体的长期死亡间隔。对当地昆虫动物的准确了解对实现这一目标至关重要。从2009年10月到2010年10月，我们用5具猪身体研究了中欧混交林中大型哺乳动物身体的演替。在身体上和身体周围使用了几个主动和被动诱捕系统，总共产生了大约20.000只昆虫。现场同时记录了温度、风和降雨量，并从附近的观测站获得。为了确定收集到的相关昆虫(主要是双翅目和鞘翅目)，需要熟练的昆虫学家的专业知识。因此，我们为上述任务申请拨款，并撰写一份关于这一主题的科学出版物。

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.
