Identification of Diptera Species That Used in Forensic Entomology in Lüleburgaz- Kırklareli Region

In this study, we aimed to identify diptera species of relevance in forensic entomology in Lüleburgaz town located in Kırklareli province, not evaluated for forensic entomology before. The study started in 1^st of April in 2010 and continued in May, June, July, August and September. Trial and control devices were set up in the study area; temperature and humidity were measured daily; eggs left by diptera species, developing maggots, pupas and the adults that came to leave eggs to the trial device were all collected. The collected egg, maggot and pupa samples grown under laboratory conditions were investigated. Individuals belonging to the most important three families relevant in forensic entomology, Calliphoridae, Muscidae and Sarcophagidae, were in the region’s forensic entomology fauna. Afterwards, we investigated the duration of development of the identified samples under 25°C temperature and 60% humidity. Of the three families observed in our study, Calliphora vicina and Lucilia sericata belonging to Calliphoridae, Muscina stabulans and Musca domestica belonging to Mucscidae, Wolhfahritia magnifica belonging to Sarcophagidae, five species in total were identified. Sequence of species in succession and the arrival times were determined by using ADH, a method important in forensic science. The identified individuals were ecologically and biologically analyzed; their development and behavior under varying temperature and humidity were also observed; low and high temperatures had a negative effect on oviposition as well as on development of maggots and pupas Identified maggots of L. sericata were analyzed with respect to their nutritional behaviors and constant temperature and humidity in laboratory conditions and the amount of nutrient that the one L. sericata maggot can consume was determined.This was the first study of forensic entomology to determine the succession of Diptera fauna with respect to climate in urban and rural locales of Lüleburgaz town, located in Kırklareli province. This study contributes to the developing inventory of a nationwide Diptera fauna record.
