Hair histology as a tool for forensic identification of some domestic animal species

open access: yes, 2018
Animal hair examination at a criminal scene may provide valuable information in forensic investigations. However, local reference databases for animal hair identification are rare.

Monitoring African Megafauna in an Anthropogenic Landscape: A 15‐Year Case Study of the Vulnerable West African Giraffe

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
We used pattern recognition software to correct misidentifications in a 15‐year photographic database of the last, vulnerable West African giraffe population in Niger. After revealing substantial methodological errors that had inflated population estimates by nearly 19%, we corrected individual encounter histories and applied capture‐mark‐recapture ...

Mark-recapture and mark-resight methods for estimating abundance with remote cameras: a carnivore case study. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Abundance estimation of carnivore populations is difficult and has prompted the use of non-invasive detection methods, such as remotely-triggered cameras, to collect data.

Development and evaluation of the retail cuts, yields and sensory properties of smoked grasscutter (Tryonomys swinderianus) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The study was carried out to develop retail cuts, evaluate the effect of the method of pelage (removal/scalding) on the yield and organoleptic quality of smoked grasscutter (Tryonomys swinderianus).

Morphology of Guard Hairs in Amazonian Marsupials: Intergeneric Variation, Habitat and Habit Association in a Phylogenetic Framework of the Order Didelphimorphia

open access: yesActa Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The cuticle and medulla of guard hairs exhibit distinct morphological patterns among mammalian species. To investigate this variability in marsupials from the Brazilian Amazon, we analysed guard hairs from nine Didelphimorphia species and incorporated data from an additional 25 didelphid species.

Challenges of Introgression in Conservation: Genetic Diversity of the Endangered Wild Camel (Camelus ferus) in Mongolia

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Using non‐invasive nuclear and mitochondrial analysis, this study reveals evidence of introgression in critically endangered Wild Camels (Camelus ferus) from the domestic Bactrian camel (Camelus bactrianus), alongside reduced genetic diversity and higher inbreeding in both in situ and ex situ populations in Mongolia.

Objective measurement of Akodon budini dorsal coloration: methodological concerns

open access: yesAnais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2016
The role of color in taxonomic and systematic studies of several taxa is central. Color data are more valuable if they permit comparisons. We aimed to provide pelage objective color measurements of a series of Akodon budini and to use those color data to

Planning tiger recovery: Understanding intraspecific variation for effective conservation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Although significantly more money is spent on the conservation of tigers than on any other threatened species, today only 3200 to 3600 tigers roam the forests of Asia, occupying only 7% of their historical range.

Challenges of measuring body temperatures of free-ranging birds and mammals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The thermal physiology of most birds and mammals is characterised by considerable spatial and temporal variation in body temperature. Body temperature is, therefore, a key parameter in physiological, behavioural and ecological research.

Pathogenesis and potential therapeutic targets of trichorhinophalangeal syndrome; lessons obtained from animal studies

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, Volume 255, Issue 3, Page 228-245, March 2026.
Abstract Trichorhinophalangeal syndrome (TRPS) is a rare genetic disease inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. It occurs in 1 in 100,000 people globally and is caused by several types of mutations of the TRPS1 gene. Since the first human patient was reported in 1966, typical and atypical pathologies, disease courses, and treatment case ...
