The following issues arise when using beetles to estimate PMI, except ... A. timing of succession is varied B. development of many species is indeterminant C. neither adult nor larvae are exclusively necrophagous D. they arrive at the later stages of decomposition.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking which of the listed issues is NOT a concern when using beetles to estimate the Post-Mortem Interval (PMI). This involves understanding the role of beetles in forensic entomology and their life cycle stages in relation to decomposition.
Answer
They arrive at the later stages of decomposition.
They arrive at the later stages of decomposition.
Answer for screen readers
They arrive at the later stages of decomposition.
More Information
Using beetles to estimate post-mortem interval (PMI) has several challenges. Beetles, particularly carrion beetles, often appear later in the decomposition process which makes them less reliable for determining an early PMI.
Tips
A common mistake could be assuming beetles are always present throughout decomposition, but they often arrive later.
