Modeling blow fly development for postmortem interval (PMI) estimation
Knowing the development behavior of blow flies is important for forensic investigations into the time of death. This study examined the development of Lucilia sericata under different temperature regimes. It is one of the first to elucidate fundamentally important assumptions made by practitioners in the field.

I told my colleagues that PeerJ is a journal where they need to publish if they want their paper to be published quickly and with the strict peer review expected from a good journal.
