1. The succession of carrion‐associated (necrophilous) insects on decomposing carrion is well documented. To exploit the changing nutritious and dynamic resources available throughout the carrion decomposition process, different species colonise and consume carrion in a predictable temporal sequence. The traits of these necrophilous insects should reflect their ecological strategies. Morphological traits of these insects, such as body size and wing size, however, have not previously been examined during active and advanced decomposition.

特征揭示了驱动腐肉昆虫群落组装的生态策略

1. 腐肉相关（嗜死性）昆虫在腐烂腐肉上的演替已有详细记录。为了利用腐肉分解过程中不断变化的营养和动态资源，不同的物种以可预测的时间顺序殖民和消耗腐肉。这些嗜死昆虫的特征应该反映它们的生态策略。然而，这些昆虫的形态特征，如身体大小和翅膀大小，以前没有在活跃和高级分解过程中进行过检查。
