Resumo

Avaliamos a sucessão de insetos em carcaças de pequenos roedores no solo (superfície vs. enterrado) em duas áreas (riparia vs. agrícola) e dois períodos (primavera vs. verão). Diariamente, as carcaças foram pesadas e os insetos coletados para contagem e identificação em nível familiar. Também medimos diariamente a temperatura do ar e solo, e características físic0-químicas do solo. Foram coletados 11.059 indivíduos de 28 táxons. Os táxons mais abundantes foram Calliphoridae (70%), Formicidae (20%), Muscidae (2%) e Sarcophagidae (2%). A riqueza de insetos foi maior na primavera das áreas de vegetação riparia, no entanto, a decomposição e a abundância de insetos foi maior na primavera em áreas agrícolas. Vespidae, Sarcophagidae, Muscidae e Calliphoridae diminuiu com o tempo, com picos de abundância respectivamente em 3, 7, 7 e 8 dias nas áreas de vegetação riparia. Caliphoridae diminuiu a abundância ao longo do tempo com pico em 5 dias, mas Armadillidiidae aumentou, com pico em 6-9 dias em áreas agrícolas. A decomposição e abundância de insetos foram maiores nas áreas agrícolas, principalmente na superfície do solo. A riqueza de insetos foi maior nas áreas de vegetação riparia, especialmente na superfície do solo. Apenas as camadas superficiais do solo apresentaram indicadores de táxons e todas diminuíram ao longo do tempo com picos de abundância de Calliphoridae, Sarcophagidae e Muscidae respectivamente em 5-8, 7 e 7 dias. Pico de abundância de famílias de insetos podem servir como base de dados para investigação e ajudar a determinar os intervalos Post Mortem em sistemas subtropicais do Neotropical.
