Fig. 2 Autumn succession onto clothed carcasses (2001). Species occurrence reported where specimens were present on a sample day. Differing line widths (adults – black, immatures – grey) indicate specimen presence on one, two or three replicates. Decomposition and life stage identified by the following: bloat, wet, dry, (A) adults, (E) eggs, (L) larvae and (P) pupae. Indicates maggot masses (>500) present.

Fig. 3 Autumn succession onto unclothed carcasses (2001). Species occurrence reported where specimens were present on a sample day. Differing line widths (adults – black, immatures – grey) indicate specimen presence on one or two replicates. Decomposition and life stage identified by the following: bloat, wet, dry, skeletal, (A) adults, (E) eggs, (L) larvae and (P) pupae. Indicates maggot masses (>500) present.

Fig. 4 Autumn succession onto clothed carcasses (2003). Species occurrence reported where specimens were present on a sample day. Differing line widths (adults – black, immatures – grey) indicate specimen presence on one, two or three replicates. Decomposition and life stage identified by the following: bloat, wet, dry, (A) adults, (E) eggs, (L) larvae and (P) pupae. Indicates maggot masses (>500) present.

Fig. 6 Ambient temperature and average internal carcass temperature for clothed and unclothed carcasses in 2001 (A) and 2003 (B). Recordings were stopped when the first probe was exposed through larval feeding and tissue loss to ambient temperature (day 38).
