Table 1. Summary of main necrophagous insects species/instars that may suggest cadaver relocation.

	First location	Indoor (closed)	Outdoor/Other
Final location			Rural	Urban	Forest	Freshwater	Salted water	Buried/Concealed
Indoor (closed)		X	Numerous large adults beetles and ground-living Silphids larvae			Aquatic species, especially larvae (low displacement abilities)		X
Outdoor/Other	Rural	?	X	X	?			Mainly Phoridae, no/few Calliphoridae
	Urban		?	X	?
	Forest		?	X	X
	Freshwater (immersed)	Many Phoridae with no usual Calliphoridae species	All typical terrestrial necrophagous species. Ground-living Coleoptera larvae would be especially informative			X	Salted water species	Many Phoridae with no other terrestrial species
	Saltwater (immersed)					Freshwater species	X
	Buried/Concealed	X	Calliphoridae, Sarcophagidae, Muscidae			Any aquatic species		X

Notes:

The first location is represented in the columns, and the second (final) site is represented in the rows. Temperature and the length of time also influence the presence and abundance of each taxon; for this table, we considered the cadaver remained a few weeks at each location. Additional details and explanation for each scenario are presented in the main text.

X, Not possible; ?, Questionable (Unknown/Insufficient data).
