Abstract
⺠We experimentally placed mouse carcasses on forest floors. ⺠Ninety-six percent of dead mice disappeared with 7 days of being placed on the forest floor. ⺠Burial rates by beetles increased with forest area. ⺠Removal rates by vertebrates decreased with forest area. ⺠Forest loss influenced the disappearance rates of vertebrate carcasses.
