Investigating the impact of X-rays on decay: X-ray computed tomography as a non-invasive visualisation technique for sediment-based decay experiments

Iacopo Cavicchini, Paul F. Wilson, Sam Giles, Jake Atterby, Andy S. Jones, Mark A. Williams, Thomas Clements

This study tests the impact of X-ray computed tomography (XCT) on decay of Danio rerio carcasses in sediment, finding no deviation in decay sequence and validating XCT as a non-destructive visualization method.

The relationship between microbial community succession, decay, and anatomical character loss in non-biomineralised animals

Thomas Clements, Robert H. Goodall, Sarah E. Gabbott, Duncan J. E. Murdock, Martha R. J. Clokie, Andrew D. Millard, Christopher J. R. Turkington, Orla G. Bath Enright, Mark A. Purnell

This study investigates the role of microbial communities in decay and anatomical character loss, finding that endogenous bacteria dominate and that microbial succession does not control anatomical decay sequences.
