What is PMI?
time since oviposition → basically the discovery of the corpse & time of death
What is maximum PMI (PMImax)?
nothing that is descend longer than a certain amount of time
What is minimum PMI (PMImin)?
estimating the time of death throughout the insect activity (PIA) → period of insect activity
What is the basic to estimating PMI?
Collecting the immature bow flies from corpse
Holding blowflies in the lab at a constant temperature until they reach the adult stage
Determining the ADH from the field-collection to emergence in the lab
Review Published literature for development requirement (“total ADH) of the emerged species (egg to adult)
Determine ADH experienced on the corpse (field adh, the unknown ash of insect before collection)
What is LAB ADH?
the calculated ADH → for insects to complete development to the adult stage under the controlled temperature condition in the lab
