Mammalian species identification is one of the important issues in forensic science.
Determining the origins of non-human biological material found at crime scenes can …

We present the first comprehensive taxonomic revision and review the biology of the
olingos, the endemic Neotropical procyonid genus Bassaricyon, based on most specimens …

Paramyxoviruses are a diverse group of negative-sense, single-stranded RNA viruses of
which several species cause significant mortality and morbidity. In recent years the …

The bushmeat trade in tropical Africa represents illegal, unsustainable off‐takes of millions
of tons of wild game–mostly mammals–per year. We sequenced four mitochondrial gene …

Abstract Analysis of mitochondrial DNA, and in particular the cytochrome b gene (cyt b), has
become an essential tool for species identification in routine forensic practice. In cases of …

Largely shallow and putatively explosive divergences in the family Leporidae (rabbits and
hares; order: Lagomorpha) have resulted in phylogenetic relationships that remain currently …

Molecular studies of Neotropical Myotis (Chiroptera, Vespertilionidae) in the last decade
have uncovered substantial cryptic diversity. One example is M. keaysi pilosatibialis, which …

With up to 137 species worldwide, Myotis,—a genus of small, insectivorous bats are an
example for understanding biogeographic and evolutionary processes such as …

For the first time, the chymosin gene (CYM) of a maral was characterized. Its exon/intron
organization was established using comparative analysis of the nucleotide sequence. The …

We describe a new species of vespertilionid bat from Guinea and Liberia, West Africa. In this
context we evaluate previously described taxa from West Africa assigned to Pipistrellus …
