Abstract

Because insect visitors was different depending on decomposition stage, dipterans occurred on chicken carcasses depending on postmortem intervals were compared by abandoned sites and decomposition from a serial study on arthropod occurrence from carcasses as forensic indicator. Species occurrence and decomposition of carcasses were different depending on abandoned sites (forest hill, open field, stream, greenhouse and roof), seasons (spring, summer, fall and winter), and situation (burying and non-burying). Development of carcass decomposition was faster at all sites in summer, carcass in greenhouse in winter, and unburied carcasses. Although visiting time of blow flies (Calliphoridae) (Phaenicia sericata, Lucilia illustris, Lucilia sp., Chrysomyia pinguis, and Chrysomyia megacephala) was different depending on abandoned season, their adults were generally collected from carcasses within 2 days. However, there were no visited flies at fresh stage of buried carcasses. The flesh flies (Sarcophagidae) were collected from all sites and seasons, and much faster from unburied carcasses than buried carcasses. Those were collected earlier from carcasses in greenhouse than other sites and occurrence was also shorter. In greenhouse, occurrence time of flesh flies were different depending on season; spring and summer - from fresh to active decay stage, fall - fresh to active decay stage, and winter - advanced decay to remains stage. Calliphora lata, Tricerotopyga calliphoroides, and Aldrichana grahami were dominant species and occurrences were different from other flies. These flies were active mainly from fresh to active stage. Larvae of sarcophagid flies were occurred earlier than those of calliphorid flies on buried carcasses.

사체의 부패단계에 따라 발생하는 곤충은 차이가 있다. 본 결과는 사체의 유기조건에 따라 발생하는 절족동물의 종류를 법의학적으로 활용하고자 유기 가능성이 높은 여러 장소에서 수행한 일련의 연구 중 부패단계를 용이하게 구분할 수 있었던 몇몇 장소에서 사체의 부패단계에 따라 발생하였던 파리류를 비교 분석한 것이다. 부패단계에 따라 발생한 파리류는 유기장소(야산, 들판, 하천, 온실, 옥상)와 유기계절(봄, 여름, 가을, 겨울) 및 사체의 매장 유무에 따라 부패의 진행에 차이가 있음에 따라 차이가 있었다. 사체의 부패는 여름에 가장 빨리 진행되었으며 겨울철 온실에서 유기한 사체는 다른 장소에 비하여 빨리 진행되었다. 그리고 매장한 사체에 비하여 노출되었던 사체의 부패가 빨리 진행되었다. 모든 유기장소에서 노출처리된 사체의 부패초기 단계인 신선기(fresh stage)에 발생한 파리류는 구리금파리(Phaenicia sericata)와 연두금파리(Lucilia illustris), Lucilia sp., 큰검정빰금파리(Chrysomyia pinguis), 검정빰금파리(C. megacephala) 등 검정파리과(Calliphoridae)로 계절에 따라 차이가 있기는 하였지만 대체로 2일 이내에 성충이 사체를 찾아 들었다. 반면 매장처리에서는 신선기에 사체를 찾아드는 파리가 없었다. 쉬파리과(Sarcophagidae) 파리들은 유기 장소와 시기에 관계없이 사체에 유인되었으나 매장처리에 비하여 노출처리에 빨리 유인되었다. 또한 쉬파리과 파리는 온실에 유기한 사체에 더 빨리 유인되었으며 발생하는 시간도 짧았다. 온실에서 봄과 여름에는 신선기(fresh)에서 부패활성기(active decay) 사이에 유인되었으나 가을에는 신선기에서 부패진전기(advanced decay) 사이에 유인되었고, 겨울에는 부패진전기(advanced decay)와 유지기(remains) 사이에 유인되어 계절에 따른 부패단계에서도 발생하는 시기에 차이가 있었다. 큰검정파리와 두꼬리검정파리, 털검정파리는 봄과 겨울에 유기한 사체에 발생하는 우점종으로 fresh~active decay 단계에 주로 발생하여 활동시기가 다른 종과는 차이를 보였다. 매장된 사체에서는 검정파리과 유충보다는 쉬파리과 유충들이 먼저 출현하였다.
