Using Stable Nitrogen Isotope Ratios from Human Skeletal Muscle Tissue for Postmortem Interval (PMI) Estimation (Part 1)
Human skeletal muscle tissue was analyzed for stable nitrogen isotope analysis (δ15N) to test the applicability of changes in values (Δ15N) through the putrefaction process for postmortem interval (PMI) estimation. Seasonal differences in Δ15N values of decom-posing skeletal muscle tissue were analyzed from 20 human donors at the University of Tennessee Anthropology Research Facility. This study revealed that change in the δ15N ratios of decompos…
Using Stable Nitrogen Isotope Ratios from Human Skeletal Muscle Tissue for Postmortem Interval (PMI) Estimation (Part 2)
Fly larvae were analyzed for stable nitrogen isotope analysis (δ15N) to test if values can be used to predict season of death/decomposition as a first step in developing a robust quantitative method for postmortem interval (PMI) estimation. This is the first study to analyze δ15N values from blow flies (BF) (Ditera, Calliphoridae: Lucilia coeruleiviridis, Calliphora vicina, Calliphora vomitoria, Chrysoma rufifaces) and black soldier flies (BSF) (…
Not just a fallback food: Global patterns of insect consumption related to geography, not agriculture
OBJECTIVES: Insects as food are often viewed as fallback resources and associated with marginal environments. This study investigates the relationship between insect consumption and noncultivated landscapes as well as with other independent variables including latitude, area, population, and gross domestic product. METHODS: Data were obtained from online databases including the World List of Edible Insects, the World Bank, and the World Factbook.…
The Interdigital Brace and Other Grips for Termite Nest Perforation by Chimpanzees of the G oualougo T riangle, R epublic of C ongo
Studies of chimpanzee termite foraging enlighten our understanding of early hominin tool use not only by modeling the cognitive ability of our ancestors but also by emphasizing the possible role of social insects in the hominin diet. The chimpanzees of the Goualougo Triangle are known to have one of the largest and most complex tool repertoires reported for wild chimpanzees. One tool set habitually used by this population includes a perforating t…
