Despite the fact that mites were used at the dawn of forensic entomology to elucidate the postmortem interval, their use in current cases remains quite low for procedural reasons such as inadequate taxonomic knowledge. A special interest is focused on the phoretic stages of some mite species, because the phoront-host specificity allows us to deduce in many occasions the presence of the carrier (usually Diptera or Coleoptera) although it has not been seen in the sampling performed in situ or in… Expand

First record of Poecilochirus mrciaki Mašán, 1999 (Acari, Parasitidae) and its phoretic carriers in the Iberian peninsula
We report for the first time the presence of Poecilochirus mrciaki Masan, 1999 in the South of Europe, in the Iberian peninsula and on new carrier insects. Mites were collected from carrion insects,… Expand
First contribution of mites (Acari) to the forensic analysis of hanged corpses: a case study from Spain.
TLDR
Four species of mites, phoretic on carrion (Silphidae) and rove (Staphylinidae) beetles, complemented and reinforced the autopsy analysis as well as the scarce information provided by insect activity. Expand
Gamasina Mites (Acari: Mesostigmata) Associated with Animal Remains in the Mediterranean Region of Navarra (Northern Spain)
TLDR
This work is the first study of the role of mites in forensic science in the Mediterranean region of Navarra (northern Spain) and is contributing 16 new records for the Iberian Peninsula. Expand
Macrocheles species (Acari: Macrochelidae) associated with human corpses in Europe
TLDR
Three human corpses, one from Sweden and two from Spain, have been analysed for the occurrence of Macrochelidae species, and Macrocheles muscaedomesticae and M. perglaber are reported for the first time from the Iberian Peninsula. Expand
Mites (Acari) as a Relevant Tool in Trace Evidence and Postmortem Analyses of Buried Corpses
TLDR
This report interprets the presence of mite species in three clandestine graves in Europe, evaluating their potential use as trace evidence or markers, and reported for the first time in human graves. Expand

This review catalogs mite species that have been documented in or on animal hosts in Malaysia and serves as a foundation for future work. Expand
Effect of Arthropods on the Decomposition of Rat Carrions in an Aerated Environment in Spring Season in Assiut, Egypt
TLDR
Rats were used to determine succession in an aerated area during the spring of 2018 in Assiut governorate,Egypt and indicated that the arthropods of forensic importance, represented by the thirteen taxa belong to phylum Arthropoda. Expand
Microbial Interactions during Carrion Decomposition
TLDR
This chapter will briefly review the microbial communities important to plant litter decomposition (detritus) and then concentrate on providing a conceptual foundation for those neglected communities, processes, and functions associated with carrion decomposition. Expand

Key for the Identification of Third Instars of European Blowflies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) of Forensic Importance
In Europe larvae of blowflies are the main group of insects responsible for decomposition of exposed vertebrate remains, including the human body. This determines their high forensic importance and… Expand
The dispersal behaviour of the phoretic mite Poecilochirus carabi (Mesostigmata, Parasitidae): adaptation to the breeding biology of its carrier Necrophorus vespilloides (Coleoptera, Silphidae)
TLDR
Choice experiments revealed that the deuteronymphs tend to even out density differences between congregating carriers, and prefer sexually mature to immature beetles, therefore, transferring between beetles results in a dispersion of deuteronymsphs on the sexually mature beetles of the population.

Forensic acarology: an introduction
TLDR
The scope of forensic acarology goes further than mites as indicators of time of death and might provide evidential data on movement or relocation of bodies, or locating a suspect at the scene of a crime. Expand
LOCAL SPECIALIZATION OF PHORETIC MITES ON SYMPATRIC CARRION BEETLE HOSTS
TLDR
Differences in local host specialization of P. carabi and tomentosus are demonstrated and the evidence for trade-offs in this system and the use of interspecific comparisons in the analysis of specialization is discussed. Expand

Caddisflies Assist with Homicide Case: Determining a Postmortem Submersion Interval Using Aquatic Insects *
TLDR
A case study in which portions of a body from an adult male were discovered in a south central Michigan stream, and unique case‐building behaviors of the limnephilid caddisflies found on the remains were used to elucidate a PMSI range consistent with the disappearance of the victim. Expand
Carcases and mites
