title: [A quick and effective method for the maceration of vertebrates].
abstract: This study describes a method which uses enzymatic additions of detergents (household washing products) to macerate small vertebrates or their heads, respectively, in a rapid, most effective, careful, rather odorless way and without any pollution of the environment. The maceration solution produced excellent results when applied to fresh or deep-frozen specimens as well as to ethanol-fixed material, while the results with formalin-fixed specimens were unsatisfying.
