Abstract
An overall theoretical approach to model phenomena of interest for for ensic entomology is advanced. Efforts are concentrated in identifying biological attributes at the individual, population and community of t he arthropod fauna associated with decomposing human corpses and then incorporating these attributes into mathematical models. In particular in this paper a diffusion model of dispersal of postfeeding larvae is described for blowflies, which are the most common insects associated with corpses.
