Cuticular Hydrocarbon Analysis in Forensic Entomology: A Review (2019)
Journal Article
Shemilt. (2019). Cuticular Hydrocarbon Analysis in Forensic Entomology: A Review. Archaeological and Environmental Forensic Science, 127 - 138. https://doi.org/10.1558/aefs.36241

Blowflies are the first inhabitants of decomposing remains and are therefore of forensic relevance for post mortem interval estimations. Forensic entomology is becoming widely accepted as a branch of forensic science and is being utilised more within... Read More about Cuticular Hydrocarbon Analysis in Forensic Entomology: A Review.
