| Population and temperature effects on Lucilia sericata (Diptera: Calliphoridae) body size and minimum development time. | Understanding how ecological conditions influence physiological responses is fundamental to forensic entomology. When determining the minimum postmortem interval with blow fly evidence in forensic investigations, using a reliable and accurate model of development is integral. Many published studies vary in results, source populations, and experimental designs. Accordingly, disentangling genetic causes of developmental variation from environmental causes is difficult. This study determined the mi ... | 2011 | 21936326 |
