Types of evidence: *larvae
*morphology
*growth history
*species distribution and toxic contents in their tissue
*any type of insect evidence
*animal feces as well
Types of tests: Morphological comparison is usually used for species identification which requires special expertise and time.
Polymerized chain reaction amplification suitable regions of the larvae genomes and comparing it with reference data.
Larvae feeding on the body can be macerated and analyzed with techniques like thin layer chromatography, gas chromatology/mass spectrometry.]]> 2017-08-09 18:58:07 UTC https://padlet.com/pcook3/ovusoja9i7jf/wish/180517913 Toxicology https://padlet.com/pcook3/ovusoja9i7jf/wish/180517916 1.
