An overview of the thermal biology of selected species of the genus Thanatophilus (Coleoptera: Silphidae) in Central Europe: carrion beetles as an important tool for the forensic sciences
Abstract:
This thesis is the summary of the scientific work I have contributed to the knowledge of two important Thanatophilus (Coleoptera: Silphidae) species in Central Europe. All the chapters and articles aim to broaden the knowledge regarding the thermal biology (Thermal summation Model, Chill coma recovery time) for the selected species. Physiology and subsequently ecology of Silphids are bounded to …moreAbstract:
developmental biology can be used during criminal investigations complementing the entomological evidence when collected with Diptera. Moreover, beetles might be beneficial when other forensically important species are absent due to successional (left the carcass during late stages of decomposition) or environmental factors.
