The analysis of the entomological and chemical decomposition of human remains to ultimately assess the viability of the domestic pig as a substitute in forensic applications
Skopyk, Angela D. (2022-09-01)Death investigations often rely on the minimum post mortem interval (minPMI) estimations provided by forensic entomologists. The models accepted by courts in Canada are not based on research involving humans but rather on ... -
Arthropod successionin Whitehorse, Yukon Territory and compared development of protophormia terraenovae (R. -D.) from Beringia and the Great Lakes Region
Bygarski, Katherine (2012-07-01)Forensic medicocriminal entomology is used in the estimation of post-mortem intervals in death investigations, by means of arthropod succession patterns and the development rates of individual insect species. The purpose ... -
Electrophysiological responses of Chrysomya rufifacies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) to active volatile organic compounds released by human and pig decomposition
Kolodij, Stephanie (2015-11-01)Forensic entomology is an important discipline which utilizes the developmental and behavioural patterns of insects which colonize decomposing tissue in a medicolegal context, most commonly to determine the post-mortem ... -
Elucidation of the lipid degradation process in soft tissue and fluid during decomposition, in the presence and absence of insects.
Comstock, Jenna (2014-08-01)Decomposition has been extensively studied in the presence of insects, however the process in the absence of insects has been considerably less documented. In this study, the decomposition process was compared between ... -
Response of Stomoxys calcitrans and Musca domestica (Diptera: Muscidae) to Volatile Organic Compound Profiles from Ontario, Canada Dairy Farms
Saddler, Alycia Louise (2019-09-01)Stomoxys calcitrans are significant pests of dairy and beef cattle livestock facilities. Their seasonal abundance causes damage to the industry in the United States. While similar damage has been documented in Canada, the ...
