摘要

“结构是我们在观察生物体时首先注意到的东西”(Gans 1985),这是一个不言自明的真理,对结构的描述和分析是形态学的研究领域。形态学分析是对野生动物遗骸进行分类鉴定的一种行之有效且经济有效的方法。尽管如此,在野生动物犯罪调查中,由于缺乏训练有素的专家,获取参考标本的挑战,以及认为DNA分析更严格,它没有得到充分利用。本文回顾了形态分析的方法,解决了感知到的挑战,并在美国鱼类和野生动物管理局的国家鱼类和野生动物法医实验室展示了该技术在野生动物法医生物学案例工作中的有效性。

Morphological analysis: A powerful tool in wildlife forensic biology

It is a truism that “structure is the first thing that we notice whenever looking at organisms” (Gans 1985), and the description and analysis of structure is the province of the science of morphology. Morphological analysis is a well-established and cost-effective technique for the taxonomic identification of wildlife remains. Despite this, it is under-utilized in wildlife crime investigations for reasons including a shortage of trained specialists, the challenge of accessing reference specimens, and the perceived greater rigor of DNA analysis. This paper reviews the methodology of morphological analysis, addresses perceived challenges, and demonstrates the effectiveness of the technique in wildlife forensic biology casework at the National Fish and Wildlife Forensic Laboratory of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
