Metrological framework for selecting morphological characters to identify species and estimate developmental maturity of forensically significant insect specimens
Accurate age estimates of immature necrophagous insects associated with a human or animal body can provide evidence of how long the body has been dead. These estimates are based on species-specific details of the insects’ aging processes, and therefore require accurate species identification and dev...
