FOGS: A SNPSTR Marker Database to Combat Wildlife Trafficking and a Cell Culture Bank for Ex‐Situ Conservation

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 4, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Illegal wildlife trade is a growing problem internationally. Poaching of animals not only leads to the extinction of populations and species but also has serious consequences for ecosystems and economies. This study introduces a molecular marker system that authorities can use to detect and substantiate wildlife trafficking.

The Role of Two Tyrosinase‐Like Glycoenzymes in Defining the Final Hue of Parrot Plumage

open access: yesPigment Cell &Melanoma Research, Volume 38, Issue 3, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Recent advances in avian melanogenesis have pinpointed multiple genetic loci associated with color polymorphisms, predominantly in the plumage of chickens, quails, and pigeons. However, the genetic basis of melaninization in parrot plumage remains elusive.

A review of commercial captive breeding of parrots as a supply‐side intervention to address unsustainable trade

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 5, October 2024.
Abstract The volume and scale of commercial captive breeding of parrots have grown dramatically in recent decades. Although it has been proposed, and is often assumed, that captive breeding can reduce pressure on wild populations, there has been little scrutiny of the scale, viability, or impacts of captive breeding to prevent overexploitation among ...

Monitoring change: A Behavior‐Centered Theory of Change for effective demand reduction interventions

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 6, Issue 10, October 2024.
Our work integrates Theory of Change frameworks with behavioral models to create a Behavior‐Centered Theory of Change (BC‐ToC) that allows to design and evaluate behavioral interventions by describing both behavioral and progress indicators to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions in changing the target behavioral state.

Markers for meat provenance and authenticity with an account of its defining factors and quality characteristics – a review

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 104, Issue 12, Page 7027-7084, September 2024.
Abstract Provenance is becoming increasingly important in meat supply chains as it lends products higher perceived quality. However, its precise definition and interpretation along with its associated characteristics factors have remained somewhat elusive.

Breeding experience improves reproductive outcomes in an avian conservation breeding program

open access: yesFrontiers in Conservation Science
In the midst of Earth’s sixth mass extinction, conservation breeding can serve as a vital component of critically endangered species recovery. The effect of an individual or pair’s breeding experience on fitness has been evaluated across numerous avian ...
