This book provides the current entomological techniques and
procedures essential for crime and death scene investigations. This
includes detailed discussions of decomposition analysis, as well as
the collection, preservation, and identification of insects and
arthropod relatives. Laboratory-based subjects include
entomotoxicology, molecular techniques, DNA sequencing, and spatial
modelling for the prediction of insect behaviour. Specialty
subjects not covered anywhere else deal with the insect nervous
system, insects of forensic importance other than flies and
beetles, indoor arthropods, phoretic mites, and insects in cases of
neglect of children and the elderly. A history of death and
surrounding myths help illustrate the roots of forensic entomology.
A detailed critical analysis of future trends in forensic
entomology, and a dedicated chapter on the impact of climate change
on forensic entomology reveal concrete directions for the
entomology as a discipline within the forensic sciences.
