Forensic investigations influenced by climate change

Entomologists use data that refer to the larval state of insects to understand what the time of a crime is and other typical characteristics related to the type of insects (a body may have been moved from a different place or moved and dragged even in different urban environments), but climate change can affect these detections making their task more difficult. For example it can happen to have very hot days followed by days with stable weather and then bad weather with cloudbursts and this makes everything more complicated for those who have to calculate schedules or compare reference models, then even if the consequences are generally not drastic still have to adapt to the new parameters dictated by climate change. The research should be adapted according to each specific regional climate including all the supporting surveys.
