Forensic Entomology

Forensic Entomology provides undergraduates with a concise
introduction to the subject. The book is written with the clarity
necessary for students starting out in entomology yet authoritative
enough to prove useful for more experienced researchers.

Worked examples of the necessary mathematics, including how to
use excel to process data, coupled with lab protocols and
self-assessment questions make the book an essential starting point
in the subject.

Assuming little prior knowledge of either biology or entomology
the book provides information on identification, life cycles and
ecology of insects presented in a forensic context. Information is
conveyed in an accessible style with practical tasks and
suggestions for further reading included in each chapter.

* Fully revised and updated to include new research in the
field

* New chapter on aquatic forensic entomology

* New pictorial key to aid identification of species contributed
by Dr. Krzysztof Szpila, Nicolaus Copernicus University,
Poland

* Further coverage of civil applications of forensic
entomology

* Practical tasks and further reading included to aid
understanding

* Colour plate section and improved illustrations throughout to
assist in the identification of insects associated with the
corpse

* Approaches the topic from the dual perspectives of basic
entomology and its forensic applications

* Covers the contributions to forensic investigations of both
flies and beetles

* Provides information on culturing insects collected from crime
scenes

* Guides students through the processes of writing entomological
court reports and presenting in court alongside the scientific
topics

* Extended coverage of PMI calculations, role of professional
associations for forensic entomologists and sampling at the crime
scene

* New sections to discuss the identification of traces of
explosives found in larvae, puparia and pupae and DNA sampling from
insects
