Wildlife Law Enforcement's Use of “ <i>the Money Shot</i> ”: Creating a Visual Fallacy and Generating Wider Legal and Forensic Implications Open
Alarmingly, it appears that wildlife law enforcement organizations in some countries are routinely photographing suspected poachers and traffickers holding or placed alongside unprotected evidence that has been recovered during the apprehe…

Genomic Population Structure of the Sunda Pangolin (<i>Manis javanica</i>) in Thailand: Implications for Conservation and Wildlife Forensics Open
Pangolins are the most heavily trafficked mammal globally, yet the population structure and genetic diversity remain poorly understood for many of the eight species. In Thailand, the Sunda pangolin ( Manis javanica ) is subject to illegal …

Mitogenomic analysis of Thai Sunda pangolins reveals regional phylogeography and informs conservation management Open
Pangolins are considered the most trafficked mammals in the world with all eight species listed on CITES Appendix I. Despite this pervasive threat to their survival, there remains a limited understanding of genetic diversity and connectivi…

Standards in wildlife forensic science, with a focus on non‐human <span>DNA</span> analysis Open
For genetic data to be used in forensic casework, it has to be produced within a controlled environment that follows strict quality standards. However, recent reviews have suggested that wildlife forensic laboratories are behind in the dev…

Genomic Insights Into Red Squirrels in Scotland Reveal Loss of Heterozygosity Associated With Extreme Founder Effects Open
Remnant populations of endangered species often have complex demographic histories associated with human impact. This can present challenges for conservation as populations modified by human activity may require bespoke management. The Eur…

Development of a qPCR assay for the quantification of canine autosomal DNA recovered from livestock attacks Open
The absence of a standardised method to quantify canine DNA recovered from livestock attacks leaves forensic providers without an important quality control step to help support their decision making. Typically used to normalise the amount …

Squirrelpox in a red squirrel in Fife Open
SQUIRRELPOX has been identified as a key factor in red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) decline in the UK.1 Grey squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) are thought to act as reservoir hosts for squirrelpox virus (SQPV), the causative agent of squirre…

Too simple, too complex, or just right? Advantages, challenges, and guidance for indicators of genetic diversity Open
Measuring genetic diversity of wild species using DNA-based data remains resource intensive and time consuming for nearly all species. However, genetic assessments are needed for global conservation commitments, including the Convention on…

Evaluation of the Impact of Population Management on the Genetic Parameters of Selected Spiral-Horned Antelopes Open
The rapid loss of biodiversity and the associated reduction and fragmentation of habitats means that ex situ populations have become an important part of species conservation. These populations, which are often established from a small num…
