Map indicating the collection site of phoretic mites associated with
necrophagous flies in Terenos city, Mato Grosso do Sul State, Brazil.
Considering the feeding guild, coprophagous comprised 42 % of the collected specimens, 32 % were considered generalists, and only 15 % were determined as
necrophagous (Appendix).
More individuals were collected after the second day post-death, although in the Bloated and Active decay stage the relative proportion of
necrophagous species was higher than at the other phases.
Larval therapy treatment has been effective regarding this type of ulcer [12, 36]; hence, the model of chronic wounds in diabetic rabbits (used for the first time in this work) proved appropriate and pertinent for evaluating the action of haemolymph and fat body extracts derived from the larvae from the selected
necrophagous blowfly species.

In the case of the obligate
necrophagous chydorid Pseudochydorus globosus, long-term persistence in Lake Oloidien is consistent with field data indicating that distribution of its food of decaying animal remains (Fryer 1968) is largely independent of salinity or substrate type (Luyten 1934, FloBner 1972).
148 The trophic pyramid in the Andean paramo exemplifies the simplicity of the food webs in mountainous regions, with only a relatively low number of species; three
necrophagous birds, only one large natural predator, the puma (Felis concolor)--dogs were introduced by human beings--and a larger number of small predators and plant eaters.
'These false eagles rarely kill any living bird or animal; and their vulture-like,
necrophagous habits are very evident to any one who has fallen asleep on the desolate plains of Patagonia, for when he wakes he will see, on each surrounding hillock, one of these birds patiently watching him with an evil eye; it is a feature of the landscape of these countries, which will be recognized by every one who has wandered over them.'

For weeks at a stretch, Australian entomologist Beryl Morris kept track of the comings and goings of
necrophagous, or carcass-eating, insects on killed pigs and sheep left outdoors in a fenced enclosure.
