Title:

Decomposition in the Desert: Researching Forensic Entomology in the Sonoran
Desert

Description:

Forensic entomology refers to the use of insect science in legal
investigations and is most famously associated with its use in time of
death investigations. This presentation will follow the Forensic Entomology
and Wildlife Laboratory=E2=80=99s efforts to uncover the ecology of carrion=
insects
in the Sonoran Desert. This presentation will not only cover the utility of
these insects in legal investigations, but will also discuss the critical
environmental roles filled by decomposers.
