Living and non-living parts: studying organisms and their environments and using these relationships to look for observable changes or patterns that can provide unique legal information, entomology. Study of pollen, spores and similar materials along with the organic matter and traces of rocks and soils: mycology. Study of the organic and inorganic matter found in soils and rocks: proxy indicator, things from an ecosystem that give information about a broader ecosystem (where you might expect to find those things) Investigation food adulteration cases: species id, where are they found naturally, site survey. Forensic mycology: uses, explain cause of death from poisons and toxins, help determine the location and time of death, ties person or evidence to a particular place. Flies can be vital in determining the pmi.
