Determination Of Coleoptera Species Of Pig Carcasses And Internal Organs Of Bovine İn Edirne City Of Turkey

Year 2012, Volume: 1 Issue: 2, 122 - 126, 01.12.2012

Abstract

The present study was carried out for the first time to observe the process of Coleoptera succession and stages of decomposition by using pig carcass and internal organs of bovine in Edirne city of Turkey. In this study, 11 species and 3 genera which belong to Dermestidae, Histeridae, Silphidae, Staphylinidae, Cleridae, Nitidulidae and Scarabaeidae families of order Coleoptera which were found on 3 pig carcasses (Sus scrofa L.) and 2 internal organs of bovine (lungs, liver, heart and kidney) were identified and recorded at Trakya University Balkan Campus.
