Decomposition studies were conducted using carcasses of domestic pigs, Sus scrofa L., one burned and the other unburned (the control) to determine effects of burning on arthropod succession patterns. The burnt carcass corresponded to a CGS level #2 burn victim. The studies were conducted in two contrasting habitats, both on the island of Oahu. The first was conducted in a xerophytic habitat from 1 Sept. 1995 through 1 Oct. 1995 while the second was conducted in a rainforest habitat from 29 April 1996 to 28 May 1996. No marked differences were noted in arthropod fauna present or the duration of the stages of decomposition between the carcasses at either site. The major oviposition by flies of the family Calliphoridae occurred one day earlier on the burnt carcass than the control carcass at Diamond Head and four days earlier at Lyon Arboretum. This resulted in all successional waves onto the burnt carcass occurring one day earlier at Diamond Head and four days earlier at Lyon Arboretum. These differences could alter a postmortem interval estimate based on arthropod succession patterns by up to 24 hours and 4 days, respectively.
使用家猪（Sus scrofa L.）的尸体进行了分解研究，一头尸体被焚烧，另一头未被焚烧（作为对照），以确定焚烧对节肢动物演替模式的影响。被焚烧的尸体相当于一名二级烧伤的综合格斗系统（CGS）受害者。研究在瓦胡岛的两种截然不同的栖息地进行。第一次研究于1995年9月1日至1995年10月1日在旱生栖息地进行，而第二次研究于1996年4月29日至1996年5月28日在雨林栖息地进行。在两个地点的尸体上，节肢动物区系或分解阶段的持续时间均未发现明显差异。丽蝇科苍蝇的主要产卵在钻石山的焚烧尸体上比对照尸体早一天，在里昂植物园早四天。这导致在钻石山，所有在焚烧尸体上的演替波都比对照早一天出现，在里昂植物园则早四天。这些差异可能会使基于节肢动物演替模式的死后间隔估计分别最多改变24小时和4天。
