DR. ZANTHÉ KOTZÉ is an international Research Associate in the FLIES Facility. She obtained her PhD in Entomology at Texas A&M University in 2019. Her research explored the effects of volatile emissions from carrion resources, and the effect these emissions had on attracting both primary and secondary carrion colonizing Diptera, namely Cochliomyia macellaria (Calliphoridae) and Hermetia illucens (Stratiomyidae). Her research interests include physiology, community ecology and decomposition ecology, and well as the forensic applications of entomological research. Dr Kotzé is working closely with the South African Police Service (SAPS) to improve the knowledge and procedures surrounding entomological specimens collected at crime scenes. Dr Kotzé also serves as an associate editor for Medical and Veterinary Entomology.
