That they were still feeding in growing. This is because they were the only ones present making them know that this was recent.

The study of pollen and spores to help solve cases.

They were linked because the pollen found on the victim and the suspect were from the same place.

Forensic wood anatomist are the ones who collect data on both micro and macro levels. They look at the growth patterns to analyze the physical characteristics.

They discovered nicks left by tools including a hand saw, a chisel, and a hand plane, and the distinctive marks of a machine planer with a flawed blade, and they found two hand saws that fit exactly the scratch marks left on the ladder, a hand plane that matched the marks on the ladder rungs, and nails identical to those in the ladder.

he became one on accident. he went into a session on entomology as he missed a paper and didnt want to waste time, became interested and started exploring the possibilities in Hawaii.

if the body is moved before collections are made one can lose significant evidence as the insects will leave the body or move to a different part of the body.

no, the time frame is off since the show is only an hour, and there is more evidence found than would be in real life. it is designed for entertainment through shoes like CSI Las Vegas are concerned with keeping things realistic.
