Differences in insect morphological traits between carcass and control sites.

<p>(a) Beetle species at carrion during week 1 were larger on average than those at control sites. (b) Beetle species at carrion during week 1 had higher wing loadings on average than beetle species at control sites. (c) No differences in ant body size were observed at different stages of carrion decomposition. (d) Macropterous beetles were always more prevalent at carcass sites that control sites.
