Extractions: Mitochondria are the cellular organelles that carry out oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). They are believed to be descended from free living bacteria, and still have their own DNA. It appears that mitochondria throughout the living world came from a single cell that set up shop within another cell (endosymbiosis) very early in the history of life (see Science Vol. 283, pp.1476-1481). Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) contains some, but not all, of the information needed to make and operate a mitochondrion. The organization of the molecule is very simple compared to nuclear DNA (nDNA). The typical animal mtDNA is a circular molecule about 16.5 kilobases in length, a tiny amount compared to the approximately 3 billion base pairs in human nuclear DNA. It includes about 37 genes (22 transfer RNAs, 2 ribosomal RNAs, and 13 peptides), with very little inter-genic sequence and no introns. The only non-coding region of any size is called the CONTROL REGION (CR) or D-LOOP in vertebrates, and the

http://www.rcmp-learning.org/docs/ecdd0030.htm

Extractions: P artnership - Inter/Intra-Agency and Multi-Disciplinary Cooperation [Partners] TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION Forensic (or medico-legal) entomology is the study of the insects associated with a human corpse in an effort to determine elapsed time since death. Insect evidence may also show that the body has been moved to a second site after death, or that the body has been disturbed at some time, either by animals, or by the killer returning to the scene of the crime. However, the primary purpose of forensic entomology today is to determine elapsed time since death. Forensic entomology was first reported to have been used in 13th Century China and was used sporadically in the 19th Century and the early part of the 20th Century, playing a part in some very major cases. However, in the last 15 years, forensic entomology has become more and more common in police investigations. Most cases that involve a forensic entomologist are 72 h or more old, as up until this time, other forensic methods are equally or more accurate than the insect evidence. However, after three days, insect evidence is often the most accurate and sometimes the only method of determining elapsed time since death.

Extractions: The Testimony of Bugs Forensic Entomology A Technical Report on the Increasing Use of Insects to Aid Legal Investigations. Brad Wager August 12, 1997 (I have removed the class name, professor's name, and academic institution.) Investigators are slowly becoming more and more aware of the invaluable contributions made by the silent testimony of insects. This report focuses on the growing area of Forensic Entomology. Insects found at the crime scene, traditionally ignored and considered a nuisance to investigators, are now being studied using new technologies to provide valuable clues to legal investigations of death. This report also touches on some broader areas of this previously overlooked field of science. Executive Summary Because of advancements in technology and increasing knowledge of science, investigators are applying new techniques to find previously unseen clues. Although a grim subject matter, the study of insect infestation and behavior has recently come into prominence as valid scientific data.

Extractions: Insects and other anthropods found at a death scene can provide corroborating evidence regarding both the time and place of death as well as possible antimortem and postmortem treatment of the victim. Nevertheless, most forensic investigators are not specially trained in entomology, and until now, no entomology reference has fully explored these subjects. Forensic Entomology: The Utility of Anthropods in Legal Investigations usurps this void, instructing even individuals without a background in entomology on what to search for when recovering entomological evidence at a crime scene.

Extractions: Forensic entomology is legal application of the science of entomology. Entomology is the study of insects, often includ ing spiders an d other arthropods. Forensics encompasses both civil and criminal areas of law.

In certain cases of suspicious death,the length of time that insects have colonised remains is useful to police investigations in helping to determine time of death. It is the mandate of the Provincial Coroners Office to determine time of death but, through pathology, they are unable to scientifically estimate beyond a certain postmortem period. In such cases, insects may become evidence and assist in determining time of death. This is based on the length of time that certain insect species, often species of blow fly, have colonised the remains. Blow flies are the insects of primary significance because the time they begin to colonise remains is often approximately consistent with the time of death. The forensic application of entomology has a long, although sporadic written history reaching back to 13

Extractions: Strong Stomachs Required: Forensic entomologists routinely encounter grim scenes in their line of work. To watch the X-Files' Dana Scully probe corpses, you'd think that every physician and scientist is expert in reading clues in maggot patterns. Not so. The American Board of Forensic Entomology (ABFE) lists just eight members; a total of 63 professionals practice this science worldwide. Forensic entomology is the study of arthropods, used to solve matters of legal interest, most often of a criminal nature. "It's mostly a repeated tale of human tragedy combined with some remarkable insect ecology," says Jeffrey Wells , assistant professor, department of justice sciences, University of Alabama at Birmingham. Use of forensic entomology is spotty, compared to routine procedures such as ballistics or blood spatter, hair, and fiber analyses. "It depends on the area and the police force. Here in British Columbia it is pretty routine," explains Gail S. Anderson

Extractions: Forensic entomology is the use of insects and our knowledge of their life cycles to assist in investigations into crimes, normally those involving death of a human being though it has been used to reinstate an unfairly sacked worker and in investigations into drug trafficking. As such it inevitably involves looking at a lot of dead, sometimes long dead, bodies. As well as acquiring an in-depth knowledge of the life cycles and interactions between the insects and other arthropods that are attracted to dead bodies. Generally the most important contribution to an investigation be a Forensic Entomologist is to accurately determine the post-mortem interval, i.e. the time between when the person died and when the body was found, or when the Forensic Entomologist arrived on the scene. Forensic entomology works because the species of flies and beetles and other arthropods involved are attracted to a dead body at relatively specific times after its death. These times relate to the state of decomposition and are therefore related to not only time of death but also the environmental parametres in force at the time. Also these insects come to the corpse to lay eggs, these eggs develop into larvae which have life cycles involving several instars and a pupae all with predictable growth rates for known temperatures. Because we are dealing with real living things here there is a certain amount of variability but given several species to cross check with and with accurate knowledge of the temperature ranges and humidity effecting the area around the corpse surprisingly accurate (often to within one or two hours) estimates of the time of death can be made.

Extractions: Practical 1 Practical 2 Practical 3 References Directory of Forensic Entomologists General Forensic Science Forensic science deals with facts that may be used as legal evidence. Forensic entomology specifically deals with the study of insects and related arthropods in relation to legal evidence. It is the study of insects and other arthropods for the purpose of uncovering information useful to a legal investigation. Three broad categories of forensic entomology have been defined: domestic, commercial and industrial, and medico-criminal. Civil litigation usually involves the first two categories. Domestic cases involve insect pests and pesticides in homes and gardens Commercial and industrial cases include any cases of insects in commercial and industrial products, such as cockroach parts in chocolate and spiders in tissue paper, and the monitoring of commercial and industrial pollution using insects as bioindicators Medico-criminal cases are generally part of criminal investigations, and therefore enjoy disproportionate publicity.

Forensic entomology is the study of evidence gained from insects. According to Keh (1985) , the term "forensic entomology" is applied to the study of insects associated with certain suspected criminal events for the purpose of uncovering information useful to an investigation. However, forensic entomology can also apply to non-criminal events such as urban and stored-product situations. The field of forensic entomology is young in southern Africa, but this is changing rapidly, and entomological evidence has led to the conviction of local murderers ( Gunnell, 2000 Lucilia cuprina Photograph courtesy of Hamish Robertson, South African Museum The idea behind forensic entomology is that different insects colonize carcasses at different stages of decomposition. By identifying the insects present in and on a carcass and what stage of development they are in, it is possible to predict the time of death with a certain degree of accuracy. However, there are a number of conditions that have to be taken into account such as temperature, humidity, rain and geographic location ( Smith, 1986

Extractions: fo-ren-sic: involving the application of scientific knowledge to legal matters. Webster's New World Dictionary Forensic Entomology We live in a world populated by bacteria and insects. Although it seems that we spend a lot of effort in fighting them, they provide a useful service as natural rubbish recyclers. Think of that dark brown leaf mould or compost that you find in rainforests. Through decay all the chemicals used by living things are able to be re-used. Forensic pathologists and entomologists specialise in studying the rates of decay of human remains. By understanding the time and sequence of various stages as bacteria and insects attack the body, they can usually make an accurate estimate of the time since death. This period is called the post-mortem interval (PMI). In addition, many different species of insect attack a corpse at different stages of decay and even prefer different tissue types (such as a beetle which attacks bones). One species, the cheese skipper larva ( Piophila casei ), is found in dead creatures only after about 2 months has passed. Since some insect species are only found in certain geographical regions, climates or locations (eg swamp or desert), the police can work out if the body has been moved from another location.
