The influence of height above ground on colonization of carcasses by blow flies (Calliphoridae)
Mudrochová, Michaela ; Barták, Miroslav (advisor) ; Olekšáková, Tereza (referee)
The forensic entomology is a special discipline of criminology which uses knowledge about insects cycles, mainly Diptera and Coeloptera, to determine the post-mortem interval. The post-mortem interval is time from death to finding of a corpse. In the Czech Republic, there wasn´t implemented any terraneous experiment that would prove the truth or disprove about the influence of height above ground on colonization of carcasses by blow flies (Calliphoridae). Experimental part was directly focused on that. For the experiment, there was used a building with six floors, precisely it was used balconies on the third and sixth floors and bush at the ground level in the shadow in front of the building. Meat baits which represented cadavers were on the all floors. Baits were used for colonization and breeding species of flies which were determined afterwards. Finally, obtained data were evaluated for their utilization in forensic entomology.
