succession pattern of cadaverous entomofauna in a semi-rural area of bogotá, colombia.	the main objective of this work was to examine the succession of insects colonizing three pig (sus scrofa) cadavers in a semi-rural area of bogotá. the 12kg pigs were shot and put into metallic mesh cages to allow access by insects. arthropods were then sampled at different intervals depending on the corresponding stage of decomposition. in total 5981 arthropods were collected during decomposition, 3382 adults and 2599 immature stages, belonging to 10 orders and 27 families. sarconesia magellani ...	2009	19329266

entomofauna resource distribution associated with pig cadavers in bogotá dc.	a cadaver represents a temporal energy-loaded resource, which provides arthropods with food, protection and a place in which to find a mate. insects are usually the first organisms to discover and colonize a cadaver; as decomposition progresses, insects colonize cadavers in a predictable sequence. this work aimed to establish cadaverous entomofauna relationships with regard to stages of decomposition and environmental conditions using multiple correspondence analysis and thereby to identify the ...	2010	21143612
