Impact of Comingled Heterospecific Assemblages on Developmentally Based Estimates of the Post-Mortem Interval—A Study with <i>Lucilia sericata</i> (Meigen), <i>Phormia regina</i> (Meigen) and <i>Calliphora vicina</i> Robineau-Desvoidy (Diptera: Calliphoridae)
Estimates of the minimum post-mortem interval (mPMI) using the development rate of blow flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) are common in modern forensic entomology casework. These estimates are based on single species developing in the absence of heterospecific interactions. Yet, in real-world situation...
