Megnin's book "La fauna des cadaveres" published in 1894 in France is generally accepted as a mile-stone in forensic entomology. It is hardly known that at the same time this topic was likewise explored in the German-speaking countries. Even PMI estimation based on developmental data of blowflies was performed. After a more descriptive period in the first half of the 20th century the complexity and variability of insects' biological behavior were detected and formally investigated. Improved technical facilities, enhanced comprehension of scientific studies and multidisciplinary cooperation, enabled rapid progress in forensic entomology during the last decades. With the European Association for Forensic Entomology founded in 2002 the frame work for a high standard of competency at an international level was constituted.
梅尼恩于1894年在法国出版的《尸体动物群》一书被公认为法医昆虫学的一个里程碑。鲜为人知的是,与此同时,德语国家也在探索这一主题。甚至还基于丽蝇的发育数据进行了死后间隔时间(PMI)的估计。在20世纪上半叶经历了一个较为描述性的阶段之后,人们发现并正式研究了昆虫生物行为的复杂性和变异性。在过去几十年里,技术设施的改进、对科学研究理解的增强以及多学科合作,推动了法医昆虫学的快速发展。随着2002年欧洲法医昆虫学协会的成立,在国际层面上建立了高标准能力的框架。
