Türkiye’de sucul adli entomoloji üzerine bir ön çalışma

Öz

AMAÇ: Sucul adli entomoloji, adli bilimlerin bir dalı olup ölüm sonrası su altında geçen zamanın belirlenmesinde yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Türkiye’de sucul alanda ölümler görülmesine rağmen, sucul adli entomoloji alanında yapılan herhangi bir çalışma bulunmamaktadır.YÖNTEM: Aksaray ilinde, iki adet domuz başı Sus scrofa domestica Evcil domuz Erxleben, 1777 36 gün boyunca adli öneme sahip sucul böceklerin belirlenmesine yönelik kafes içerisinde iki farklı drenaj kanalına yerleştirilmiştir. Domuz başları üzerine gelen böcekler, adli açıdan tür teşhisi yapmak için toplanmış ve leşin ayrışma aşamaları gözlemlenerek kaydedilmiştir.BULGULAR: Leşlerden toplanan böceklerin teşhis işlemleri sonucunda Birinci deney hayvanında tespit edilen taksonlar: Diptera takımından Calliphoridae, Muscidae, Fanniidae, Ephydridae ve Chironomidae familyalarına ait 9 tür; Coleoptera takımından Histeridae, Staphylinidae, Dytiscidae ve Helophoridae familyalarına ait 5 tür ve bir alttür; Hemiptera takımından Gerridae familyasına ait bir tür; İkinci deney hayvanında tespit edilen taksonlar Diptera takımından Calliphoridae, Muscidae ve Chironomidae familyalarına ait 7 tür; Coleoptera takımından Nitidulidae Dytiscidae ve Helophoridae familyalarına ait 4 tür; Hemiptera takımından Corixidae familyasına ait bir tür; Odonata takımından Libellulidae familyasına ait bir tür tespit edilmiştir.SONUÇ: Bu çalışma adli öneme sahip sucul böceklerin belirlenmesi ile ilgili ülkemizde yapılan ilk çalışmadır ve tespit edilen taksonlar adli sucul entomoloji açısından ülkemizden ilk kez kaydedilmiştir.

A preliminary study on aquatic forensic entomology in Turkey

Öz

OBJECTIVE: Aquatic forensic entomology is a branch of forensic science that applies the study of aquatic insects to criminal investigations, and is commonly used in death investigations for estimating the post mortem submersion interval. However, there is no study in the field of aquatic forensic entomology in Turkey although there are deaths reported as found in water.METHODS: In the province of Aksaray city , two pigs’ heads of Sus scrofa domestica domestic pig Erxleben, 1777 species in cages were placed into two different drainage channels for 36 days for the purpose of attracting and identifying forensically significant aquatic insects. The insects on the carcasses were collected to identify the species, and decay phases were reportRESULTS: The taxa that were collected from the first test animal included 9 Diptera species from the families Calliphoridae, Muscidae, Fanniidae, Ephydridae and Chironomidae; 5 Coleoptera species and a subspecies from the families Histeridae, Staphylinidae, Dytiscidae and Helophoridae; and one Gerridae species from the family Hemiptera. The taxa identified in the second test animal included 7 Diptera species from the families Calliphoridae, Muscidae and Chironomidae; 4 Coleoptera species from the families Nitidulidae, Dytiscidae and Helophoridae; one Hemiptera species from the family Corixidae; and one Odonata species from the family Libellulidae.CONCLUSION: This is the first study carried out in Turkey regarding the identification of forensically substantial aquatic insects, and the detected taxa have been recorded for the first time in terms of forensic aquatic entomology in our country.
