Red imported fire ants, Solenopsis invicta Buren, caused an increased in the proportion of gaps in the daily occurrence of postfeeding larvae of Cochliomyia macellaria (F.) in carrion-baited traps. Chrysomya rufifacies appeared later in the decomposition process and over a wider period of days in goat than in rabbit carcasses. The dependence of presence or absence of a carrion arthropod taxon at a given point in succession on interactions between other arthropods or carcass type must be considered when using successional data to estimate postmortem intervals.
红火蚁，即入侵红火蚁（Solenopsis invicta Buren），导致了以腐肉为诱饵的诱捕器中，墨西哥丽蝇（Cochliomyia macellaria (F.)）取食后幼虫每日出现的间隙比例增加。红头丽蝇（Chrysomya rufifacies）在山羊尸体的分解过程中出现得较晚，且出现的天数比在兔子尸体上更长。在利用演替数据估计死后间隔时，必须考虑腐肉节肢动物分类群在演替过程中某一特定点的出现与否，取决于其他节肢动物之间的相互作用或尸体类型。
