| [description and key to the main species of calliphoridae (diptera) larvae of forensic importance from colombia]. | larvae of 13 blowfly species from colombia are described and an illustrated key for all them is presented. all larval instars of calliphora nigribasis macquart, cochliomyia macellaria (fabricius), chrysomya albiceps (wiedemann), chrysomya megacephala (fabricius), hemilucilia segmentaria (fabricius), hemilucilia semidiaphana (rondani), lucilia eximia (weidemann) are described, but the second and third instars of compsomyiops verena (walter), and only the third instar of calliphora vicina robineau ... | 2009 | 19618061 |
| 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 |
| succession pattern of carrion-feeding insects in paramo, colombia. | the minimum postmortem interval can be estimated based on knowledge of the pattern of insect succession on a corpse. to use this approach requires that we take into account the rates of insect development associated with particular climatological conditions of the region. this study is the first to look at insect succession on decomposing carcasses in the high altitude plains (paramo) in colombia, at 3035 m above sea level. five stages of decomposition were designated with indicator species iden ... | 2007 | 16797152 |
| synanthropy of calliphoridae and sarcophagidae (diptera) in bogotá, colombia. | calliphoridae and sarcophagidae have medical and forensic importance. species of these families are the first insects colonizing corpses and are, therefore, useful in establishing postmortem interval and as indicators in corpse transfer. the synanthropic index (si) measures the relation of dipteran species with human settlements. our main objective was to determine the synanthropic index of these families during the rainy and dry seasons in bogotá. captures were carried out using traps with bait ... | 2012 | 23950049 |
