As these analyses take place within the context of legal proceedings, the wildlife forensic community is subject to unique requirements and considerations. These requirements and considerations are quite different from those of human forensic DNA, and have driven standardization in this field. While there has been extensive debate over appropriate DNA-based methods for taxonomic identification of a wide variety of biota in research settings, there has been little discussion on the issues associated with this approach in the high scrutiny environment of forensic science.

Assessment of the ivory percentage must be conducted as a percentage of the total volume of the composite object and be of a non-destructive nature. To meet these analytical requirements, optical three-dimensional (3D) scanning and imaging software algorithms were used to create 3D models of three composite objects and to measure the volumetric percentage of the ivory constituents. Volumetric percentage determination of the ivory constituents was conducted on the composite objects in both the assembled and the disassembled states to assess the percentage error (PE) for ivory volume measurements when destruction of an item is not permitted. For objects or carvings with clearly defined boundary lines, a PE of <5% is recommended to be added to the volumetric ivory findings to factor in the presence of hidden, non-visible ivory. For an object without clearly defined boundary lines between ivory constituents and adjacent non-ivory constituents, the PE was dependent on the size, type, and number of ivory interfaces. The validity of the optical 3D scanner was assessed using a reference object of known geometry and shown to be accurate within a PE of ±0.3%. The findings of this study suggest that the volumetric percentage of ivory for a composite object can be accurately determined using a non-destructive optical 3D scanning method.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":93435,"journal":{"name":"Forensic science international.

As unsustainable forest exploitation has increased, regulations for timber traceability have also increased with the creation of such laws as the 2005 Lacey Act in the United States (Lacey Act, 2005) and the European Union Timber Regulation (EUTR) in 2013. These laws were implemented to ensure that members of the timber trade operated in accordance with guidelines and practiced due diligence, with the goal of halting illegal timber imports (FAO, 2016). Unfortunately, the illegal timber trade remains prevalent and has progressed into the third largest transnational crime (Mavrellis, 2017). To combat the prevalence of illegal timber, researchers have utilized Direct Analysis in Real Time Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (DART-TOFMS). With the success found using DART-TOFMS for species identification, we investigated whether the method could be used to identify the original geographic region of timber through analysis of 211 samples taken from 12 <em>Pterocarpus</em> species taken from the Neotropics, Africa, South Asia, and Southeast Asia. We found that analysis using DART-TOFMS could identify the broad geographical provenances of the timber with an accuracy of 98%. This research demonstrated that DART-TOFMS can be used to detect the phytochemical trends that exist between timber species occupying broad geographic regions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":93435,"journal":{"name":"Forensic science international.

The genetic resource is a vital forensic tool to monitor the Gangetic turtle species to understand the pattern of illegal wildlife trade. We collected 64 softshell and hardshell turtles samples from the Ganga river and report species-specific variations among turtle species based on mitochondrial cytochrome <em>b</em> gene (1140 bp) and nuclear Cmos gene (602 bp). This genetic information will help augment the molecular database to identify Gangetic turtle species and lineages effectively. We identified unique species-specific variable sites, haplotypes, and Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) and analyzed genetic differentiation and phylogenetic relationships. The unique mitochondrial and nuclear signatures exhibited in this study will add to baseline information on the genetic relationship of turtles of river Ganga.

We analyze the elements of a crime in two cases where children were objects of canine aggression, and show how the courts constructed the issue of dog owners’ negligence. In Case 1 the Court of Appeal found that a foster parent was not negligent when leaving a boy with specific needs alone with a heavily built dog that then repeatedly bit the boy to death despite the owners attempt to pull away the dog. The court also ignored the signs of substandard animal husbandry including previous severe incidents where the dog owner also was injured. In Case 2, the Court of Appeal instead found that the breed of the dog also matter, and that not even adult presence is enough to protect a child from dog attack. Because both the child and the dog could behave unpredictably, continuous observation and supervision was required. In both cases, measures to prevent the incident were available and would have been easy to carry out.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":93435,"journal":{"name":"Forensic science international.

Additionally, common oils from vegetable and animal sources were investigated to determine if any other oil sources could be confused with sea turtle oils. The oil samples were ionized both in the positive and negative mode by Direct Analysis in Real Time (DART) and the masses were measured in a time of flight mass spectrometer (AccuTOF by JEOL). Positive and negative mode mass spectra produced species-specific chemotypes and no other oils analyzed in this study produced chemotypes resembling those of sea turtle oils.
