Fig. 4 Mean values of Coleoptera abundance (N) along carcass decomposition stages in each sampling season (error bars represent the standard error of the mean); a, b and c represent different groups after pairwise Bonferroni tests between decomposition stages. Decay and advanced decay stages are treated as one stage (decay). Forensic Science International , 73-83DOI: ( /j.forsciint ) Copyright © 2013 Elsevier Ireland Ltd Terms and Conditions

Fig. 5 Mean values of Coleoptera species richness (S) along carcass decomposition stages in each sampling season (error bars represent the standard error of the mean); a, b and c represent different groups after pairwise Bonferroni tests between decomposition stages. Decay and advanced decay stages are treated as one stage (decay). Forensic Science International , 73-83DOI: ( /j.forsciint ) Copyright © 2013 Elsevier Ireland Ltd Terms and Conditions

Fig. 6 Scatterplots of CCAs based on Coleoptera community composition from carcass decomposition stages in each sampling season: autumn, winter, spring and summer. Significance of canonical axes: autumn – axis 1: F=6.15 (p=0.002), all axes: F=3.08 (p=0.002); winter – axis 1: F=4.53 (p=0.002), all axes: F=3.69 (p=0.002); spring – F=7.88 (p=0.002), all axes: F=3.77 (p=0.002); summer – F=4.40 (p=0.024), all axes: F=2.62 (p=0.008). Decay and advanced decay stages are treated as one stage (decay). Forensic Science International , 73-83DOI: ( /j.forsciint ) Copyright © 2013 Elsevier Ireland Ltd Terms and Conditions
