Abstract excerpt
Some representatives of flesh flies visiting/colonizing the decomposed remains demonstrated their values in estimating the minimal postmortem interval (PMImin) since death. However, the utility of sarcophagid flies has been seriously hampered by limited ecological, biological and taxonomic knowledge of them. Although mitochondrial genes have been proposed as a potential DNA barcode for the species-level...
