Résumé
"Forensic entomology, the study of insects associated with a dead body in order to determine time since death, is a valuable tool in homicide investigations. However, in order to be of value, data must be generated on insect succession on carrion in any region in which it is to be used. This research, conducted over three years in the Edmonton, Alberta, Region of Canada studied insect succession on carrion in all seasons, in several different habitats, including sun and shade, partially buried and buried. These data can now be used in death investigations in this region of Canada."
