SEASONAL ACTIVITY AND SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF NECRODES LITTORALIS AND THANATOPHILUS RUGOSUS (COLEOPTERA: SILPHIDAE)
Original language description
Carrion beetles are an important part of the decomposition processes in the Northern Hemisphere ecosystems. Along with the flies, they are the main consumers of dead animal tissues, thus driving the nutrients from the carcass to other parts of the ecosystem. These animals can also be used as bio indicators in forensic entomology, where they help to identify the time of the death and post mortem body manipulation. However, to employ the beetles in this manner, it is essential to identify seasonal cycles in the life of these beetles and their spatial distribution. This knowledge will allow the detection and explanation of anomalies in the composition of the fauna on a dead body, or it can be used for testing dubious zoological records. Both our study subjects, Necrodes littoralis and Thanatophilus rugosus, are considered to be potentially useful indicators, since they are frequent on carrions of large animals including humans. Though, the information about their ecology is either limited or outright an
