Beetles (Insecta, Coleoptera) associated with pig carcasses exposed in a Caatinga area, Northeastern Brazil.
The species richness, abundance and seasonality of Coleoptera fauna associated with pig carcasses exposed in a Caatinga area were examined. Tray, pitfall and modified Shannon traps were settled together to collect these insects during two seasons (dry and rainy). 4,851 beetles were collected, belonging to 19 families and 88 species. Staphylinidae (2,184) and Histeridae (1,264) were the most abu...
متن کاملPostburn Insect Fauna in Southern California Chaparral1

متن کاملNatural and anthropogenic changes in the insect fauna associated with carcasses in the North American Maritime lowlands.
The insect pool available for carrion visitation and colonisation varies with geographical areas, hence the need to build a comprehensive database wherever such data could be used in forensic investigations. However, most of the geographic records on carrion-related insects are from short-term seasonal studies. Here, we provide the year-round taxonomic composition for the dominant ecosystem of ...
متن کاملIxodidae fauna of domestic dogs in Parana, southern Brazil.
The present study aimed to contribute towards identification and registration of tick species that parasitize dogs in rural and urban areas of three mesoregions of Paraná, southern Brazil, and to estimate the rate of occurrence of each species. Fifty-six dogs with ticks living in three mesoregions: Metropolitana de Curitiba (MC), Centro Oriental (COP) and Centro Sul Paranaense (CSP), were used ...
متن کاملLonger decomposition process and the influence on Coleoptera fauna associated with carcasses.
Cadavers are colonized by different species of animals, mainly insects such as flies and beetles (Kocarek, 2003). The succession of these insects and the time they live on the carcasses is used to determine in which circumstances death occurred and to estimate the postmortem interval (Catts and Goff, 1992). The Coleoptera order is the richest and most diverse of the Insecta class with 350,000 s...
