• Burying beetles bury carcasses which will become food for their young. One of the major functions of carrion burial is said to be the guarding of the resource against competitors. This hypothesis was tested. The number of burying beetles attracted was not significantly different between carcasses buried by burying beetles and carcasses not buried. This suggests that the burial of carcasses by Nicrophorus vespilloides does little to deter competing burying beetles. However, some evidence was found indicating that carcass maintenance (rolling & treatment with secretions) by burying beetles is a significant component in the prevention of carcass discovery.
