Abstract
BRIDGES is a recurring feature of J-NABS intended to provide a forum for the interchange of ideas and information between basic and applied researchers in benthic science. Articles in this series will focus on topical research areas and linkages between basic and applied aspects of research, monitoring policy, and education. Readers with ideas for topics should contact Associate Editors, Nick Aumen and Marty Gurtz. Forensic entomology has proven to be an important tool in understanding what took place at crime scenes involving human corpses. Traditionally, forensic entomology has focused on terrestrial saprophagous insects, and much less is known about biota colonizing corpses in aquatic environments. In this BRIDGES article, Keiper and Casamatta suggest how knowledge of benthic ecology can be applied to forensic investigations, provide suggestions for future benthic research, and help bridge the gap between benthic science and the applied aspects of forensic sciences.
