Road mortality mitigation for red wolves requires a landscape approach

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
In 1980, the red wolf Canis rufus was declared extinct in the wild. However, starting in 1987, a captive breeding program allowed for a reintroduction effort in and around Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge (Alligator River NWR), North Carolina, USA. In 2012 the wild red wolf population peaked at about 120 individuals.

Indirect Measurement of Shooting Distance by Active Thermography

Forensic Sciences
Background: The analysis of gunshot residue (GSR) is crucial for gaining information on how a crime occurred. This study presents an innovative proof of concept for measuring shooting distances by performing Flash-Pulse active Thermography (FPT ...

Indirect fractures in long bones resulting from gunshot trauma: Occurrence, characterization, and need for additional research

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Indirect fractures from gunshot wounds can occur when a projectile impacts soft tissue without making direct contact with the bone. Existing biomechanical and clinical research suggests that indirect fractures result in lower levels of comminution, and that resultant fracture patterns can resemble those seen in blunt force trauma (e.g., wedge ...

Detection of gunshot residues on cadaveric skin using sodium rhodizonate and a counterstain

, 2006
We report a staining method for cadaveric tissue using sodium rhodizonate as a skin marker for gunshot residues and a counterstain for the surrounding connective tissue.

Suicides disguised as homicides through weapon concealment: A two‐way copycat phenomenon between fiction and real world

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Suicides disguised as homicides present a persistent challenge in forensic case analysis, particularly when the weapon is deliberately removed after discharge. This study investigates the evolution of weapon concealment techniques—specifically the “load‐and‐rope” and “helium balloon‐tied gun” methods—across documented casework, forensic ...

Thermal persistence and physicochemical modification of inorganic gunshot residue (IGSR)

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract In the medicolegal context, GSR analysis plays a key role in clarifying the dynamics of firearm‐related deaths, including lesion identification and firing distance determination. However, postmortem alterations of the body, such as thermal exposure, may influence the analysis of lesions and complicate interpretation.

Firearm sexual homicide offenders: Criminal careers, psychopathology, and offense conduct

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Most homicides are firearm‐perpetrated, but in sexual homicide, offenders are more likely to utilize personal weapons (e.g., hands and feet), contact weapons (e.g., blunt object), or edged weapons (e.g., knife) to comport with their fantasy life, motivational states, and psychopathology.

Characterization of Lead-Free Gunshot Residue Analogs

, 2016
Modern forensic analyses of inorganic gunshot residues rely on the detection of three key elements from the primer: barium, antimony, and lead. However, recent environmental concerns are trending toward an industry-wide shift to the manufacture and ...

Region‐of‐interest geometry optimization for shooting‐distance estimation from flash‐pulse infrared thermography of gunshot residue on textile targets

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Shooting‐distance estimation from gunshot‐residue (GSR) patterns on textiles is affected by substrate properties, residue distribution, and region‐of‐interest (ROI) definition. This study evaluated how ROI geometry influences muzzle‐to‐target distance regression from flash‐pulse infrared thermography of GSR‐related thermal patterns.
