- wildlife forensics
- examples
- collection of wild bird eggs
- bird of prey poisioning
- illegal trap use
- nest disturbances
- hare coarsing
- badger baiting
- poaching
- negligence
- dangerous dog breeds
- evidence
- outdoor scene- consider rain and wind etc
- fur
- feathers
- egg shells
- teeth
- bones
- pelts
- botanical
- blood
- saliva
- mammalian mitochondrial genome
- identify a species
- performed using mitochondrial DNA
- why mtDNA?
- 16500bp
- farily conservative due to fuction of ETC
- multiple copies
- 2 copies of nDNA per cell
- higher mutation rate
- 10x faster than nDNA,
- materally inheritted
- circular structure
- rate of degradation slower
- 16500bp
- why mtDNA?
- 1 non coding region
- 2 rNA
- 13 protein codign genes
- 22 RNA
- differences between species
- from mtDNA forming proteins, they are the same size between different species
- looking for a chnage in the sequence
- base changes are mutations known as single nucleotides polymorphisms
- the change may be trasition or transversion
- base changes are mutations known as single nucleotides polymorphisms
- looking for a chnage in the sequence
- from mtDNA forming proteins, they are the same size between different species
- performed using mitochondrial DNA
- regions of interest
- control
- intra species variation
- Cytb
- first used
- COI
- the bar coding gene
- control
- identify a species
- in the uk
- NWCU
- top priorites
- poaching
- badger ersecution
- bird of prey persecution
- bat persecution
- illegal trade in endangered species
- fresh water peral mussels
- top priorites
- specific UK commitments
- national strategic approach to action on IWT
- link to serious and organised crime
- UK tasking group for NWC Priorities
- funding NWCU
- police wildlife crime co-ordinators
- national strategic approach to action on IWT
- house of commons environment audit comittee
- key outputs
- consolidation of the law "wildlife crime" cover many different legislations
- funding NWCU
- legislation regarding possession of poisons
- lack of sentencesing guidlines
- lack of person qualified to monitor online wildife crime activity
- key outputs
- NWCU
- world wide
- Elephant ivory
- between 1979 ans 1987 african population went from 1,3 mill to 600,000
- elephant killed every 15 mins
- cites ban on ivory trade
- 2005/6 23-24 tonnes of ivory seized
- gabon
- ivory stock piled from seizures 2012
- move to burn all seizures (worth an estimated $9.5 mill)
- people see burning- public opinion
- gabon
- 2005/6 23-24 tonnes of ivory seized
- poaches want elephant to be extinct
- value increases
- between 1979 ans 1987 african population went from 1,3 mill to 600,000
- rhino horn
- 2015- 11750 rhino killed in south africa
- produces £1ks
- sharks
- shark fining
- removal of shark fins at sea prohibited
- loophole in forms of fishing permits for member states
- some manta rays and sharks are protected
- removal of shark fins at sea prohibited
- shark fining
- traditional medicines
- bear bile
- ursodeoxcolic acid- treat kidney, stomach and digestion disorders
- tiger bone
- treat rheumatism and headaches
- bear bile
- Elephant ivory
- animal welfare act
- must be 16 to buy a pet
- no more fair ground prizes
- docking for cosmetic purposed banned
- can now act for animals at risk
- not including lab animals or racing
- now a duty of car fro pet owners
- examples
