A Brief Survey of the History of Forensic Entomology 15
A brief survey of the history of forensic entomology 15 Acta Biologica Benrodis 14 (2008): 15-38 A brief survey of the history of forensic entomology Ein kurzer Streifzug durch die Geschichte der forensischen Entomologie MARK BENECKE International Forensic Research & Consulting, Postfach 250411, D-50520 Köln, Germany; [email protected] Summary: The fact that insects and other arthropods contribute to the decomposition of corpses and even may help to solve killings is known for years. In China (13th century) a killer was convicted with the help of flies. Artistic contributions, e.g. from the 15th and 16th century, show corpses with “worms”, i.e. maggots. At the end of the 18th and in the beginning of the 19th century forensic doctors pointed out the significance of maggots for decomposition of corpses and soon the hour of death was determined using pupae of flies (Diptera) and larval moths (Lepidoptera) as indicators. In the eighties of the 19th century, when REINHARD and HOFMANN documented adult flies (Phoridae) on corpses during mass exhumation, case reports began to be replaced by systematic studies and entomology became an essential part of forensic medicine and criminology. At nearly the same time the French army veterinarian MÉGNIN recognized that the colonisation of corpses, namely outside the grave, takes place in predictable waves; his book “La faune des cadavres” published in 1894 is a mile stone of the forensic entomology. Canadian (JOHNSTON & VILLENEUVE) and American (MOTTER) scientists have been influenced by MÉGNIN. Since 1895 the former studied forensically important insects on non buried corpses and in 1896 and 1897 MOTTER published observations on the fauna of exhumed corpses, the state of corpses as well as the composition of earth and the time of death of corpses in the grave. -

Författare Author: Chipango Kamboyi Sammanfattning Abstract Oak habitats are rich in saproxylic species, but the habitat is declining with loss of diversity due to encroachment which decrease the vitality of oaks. The present explorative study compared results from a study conducted in 1994, with present species communities to observe if there has been change in species composition and what factors that can explain species diversity and composition. The results revealed that the overall species composition between 1994 and 2018 has changed. There were 130 species recorded in 2018 compared to 108 species in 1994 (31 new species were recorded in 2018, and 9 species lost from the study in 1994). There was a high species turnover recorded per individual tree, and the species composition between the living and encountered dead trees did not differ. -

11th International Working Conference on Stored Product Protection Session 7 : Museum Pests The use of thermal control against insect pests of cultural property Strang, T.J.K.*# Canadian Conservation Institute, Department of Canadian Heritage, 1030 Innes Rd. Ottawa, ON, Canada, K1B4S7 *Corresponding author, Email: [email protected] #Presenting author, Email: [email protected] DOI: 10.14455/DOA.res.2014.110 Abstract Collections in cultural institutions are vulnerable to many deleterious events. Insects of concern are a blend of ‗household pests‘, typified by clothes moth and dermestid species, ‗timber pests‘ such as anobiid and lyctid species and ‗food pests‘ of kitchen, pantry and granary as collections are quite varied in their composition across museum, archive, library, gallery, historic properties and cultural centers. There is a distribution of scale of museums and concomitant resources to apply against all modes of deterioration, as well as accomplishing operational goals using the collections as a core resource. There is a strong need for museum pest control methods inside an integrated pest management framework to be efficacious, have minimal effect on objects, and be economical in their costs. Through the 1980‘s and 90‘s museum staff became increasingly knowledgeable about industrial hygiene, harmful substances used in preparation methods, preservative solutions and residual insecticides. Some collections have been tested for residual arsenic, mercury, DDT, and other contaminants. Fumigants were curtailed for health and environmental impact so ethylene oxide (ETO), phosphine and methyl bromide (MeBr) followed the loss of grain fumigants which had been applied as liquids in museum storage cabinets. Thermal and controlled atmosphere methods offered a way forward for many museums which found they could not continue previous practices for controlling insects on and inside their objects. -
Alien Insect Impact on Cultural Heritage and Landscape
LIEN INSECT IMPACT ON CULTURAL HERITAGE AND ALANDSCAPE: AN UNDERESTIMATED PROBLEM Barbara Manachini*5 Dipartimento Scienze e Tecnologie Biologiche, Chimiche e Farmaceutiche STEBICEF, Via Archirafi , 18, Palermo, Italy Keywords: Invasive species; economic impact; insect pests; biodiversity What is an invasive alien insect? Invasive species are referred to as non-natives, exotics, aliens, non-indigenous harmful species and by a host of other names. All these defi nitions incorporate a basic concept: invasive species are organisms that have been introduced into an environ- ment in which they did not evolve and whose introduction causes or is likely to cause economic or environmental harm [1]. Typically, they have few or no natural enemies to limit their reproduction and/or spread. Moreover, the hosts (e.g. native trees) for inva- sive insects often have not co-evolved with the introduced pest. Consequently native hosts are much more likely to be damaged or killed by the invasive pest. Today, inva- sive species cause millions of dollars of damage to croplands, rangelands, pastures, wetlands, waterways and forests. In addition, they have caused ecological and societal impacts [2]. Alien insects are more than 30% of all other alien species introduced into Italy and represent one of the most important environmental worries as they are con- sidered one of the major causes of loss of biodiversity. More than 60% of these alien insects have a negative impact on economic and human health. However, their impact on cultural heritage and on landscape is still underestimated [3, 4]. Alien insect and landscape The number of new records of alien species increases continuously, with a marked acceleration in recent decades. -
