Oftentimes, scavenger communities differ in consistency due to carcass size and carcass types, as well as by seasonal effects as consequence of differing invertebrate and microbial activity. [4] Competition for carrion results in the inclusion or exclusion of certain scavengers from access to carrion, shaping the scavenger community.
The Scavenger's Daughter is also known as Skevington's gyves, as iron shackle, as the Stork (as in Italian cicogna) or as the Spanish A-frame. Further it is known as Skevington's daughter, from which the more commonly known folk etymology using "Scavenger" is derived. There is a Scavenger's daughter on display in the Tower of London museum.

Entrance to the Science Museum of Virginia. A science museum is a museum devoted primarily to science.Older science museums tended to concentrate on static displays of objects related to natural history, paleontology, geology, industry and industrial machinery, etc. Modern trends in museology have broadened the range of subject matter and introduced many interactive exhibits.
Necrophagous insects are important in forensic science [2] as the presence of some species (e.g. Calliphora vomitoria) in a body, coupled with information on their development stage (e.g. egg, larva, pupa), can yield information on time of death.
A scientific collection is a collection of items that are preserved, catalogued, and managed for the purpose of scientific study. [1]Scientific collections dealing specifically with organisms plants, fungi, animals, insects and their remains, may also be called natural history collections or biological collections. [2]
The Decapoda or decapods (lit. ' ten-footed ') is a large order of crustaceans within the class Malacostraca, and includes crabs, lobsters, crayfish, shrimp, and prawns.Most decapods are scavengers.
The new fossil was 10% larger than other specimens and estimated to weigh 10–13 tons in life. [3] The Museum of the Rockies, as the result of continuing fieldwork, now exhibits the largest Tyrannosaurus rex collection in the world. Currently, Horner is working on the developmental biology of dinosaurs. [16]
