Timber identification of Autranella, Baillonella and Tieghemella in the taxonomically challenging Sapotaceae family

Plant Methods, 2021
Background To enforce timber import laws and perform timber species identification, the identity of the botanical species must be well-defined. Since the Sapotaceae family is known as a taxonomically challenging family, we focus in this study on the four

Species identification of a suspected bone found in blood sausage [PDF]

, 2016
The case of an identification for a small bone found in a blood sausage is described. The similitude with a rodent bone leads the consumer to demand the government organism responsible of food quality control.

Necrophagous Insects and Internal Temperature Synergistically Determine Duration of the Decomposition Process for Deer Carcasses When Vertebrate Scavengers are Excluded

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Predicted survival curves from the accelerated failure time (AFT) model showing the probability that deer carcass weight remains above 30% of its initial value over time. Curves represent predictions at −1 SD, mean, and + 1 SD of each covariate (initial body weight, average air temperature, and duration until the first peak in internal carcass ...

Harnessing Deep Learning in Searching Wild Relatives of Domestic Animals

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Wild relatives of domestic animals are crucial reservoirs of genetic diversity, yet pervasive hybridization with domestic animals poses significant conservation challenges. Here, we developed a deep learning–based pipeline, consisting of a multi‐layer perceptron for SNP panel selection and a Deep & Cross Network for model training, to discern ...

Siting prisons, sighting communities: geographies of objection in a planning process [PDF]

, 2014
This paper reviews the planning process for a Scottish prison located near a former mining village. Analysing the letters of objection submitted by residents offers an opportunity to explore local views about prison and community and to relate these to ...

Using miniaturized laboratory equipment and DNA barcoding to improve conservation genetics training and identify illegally traded species

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Illegal wildlife trade (IWT) is one of the largest global illegal activities, and it negatively affects biodiversity and sustainable development worldwide. DNA barcoding coupled with high‐throughput sequencing (i.e., metabarcoding) is useful in identifying taxa affected by IWT and has been used routinely for decades.

A universal panel of STR loci for the study of polymorphism of the species Canis lupus and forensic identification of dog and wolf

Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции
Commercial panels of microsatellite (STR) loci are intended for DNA analysis of the domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris) and, therefore, when genotyping the Grey wolf (Canis lupus lupus), most markers reveal significant deviations from the Hardy ...

Assessments on the impact of human-tiger conflict and community-based conservation in Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve, Madhya Pradesh, India

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2018
Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve (BTR) is one of the famous tiger reserves in India, situated in Uamria District of Madhya Pradesh.  Data on human-tiger conflict were collected from the forest record during the period from 2001 to 2011 and a questionnaire ...

An Investigation of Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) and Eurasian Badger (Meles meles) Scavenging, Scattering, and Removal of Deer Remains: Forensic Implications and Applications [PDF]

, 2015
Within northwest Europe, especially the United Kingdom, the red fox (Vulpes vulpes) and the Eurasian Badger (Meles meles) are the largest wild scavengers capable of modifying a set of remains through scavenging.

Canis STR‐Seq: A Universal Approach for Non‐Invasive Genetic Monitoring of Wolves and Coyotes

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
We present a new, universal microsatellite genotype‐by‐sequencing assay for Canis species that allows for unambiguous allele calls, flags homoplasy for more accurate assignment tests, and improves genotyping output from low‐template DNA. We suggest, as others have done previously, that microsatellites are still effective, affordable, and sometimes ...
