This book focuses on the developing test methods that can be applied to
wildlife crimes. In large part, the tests described are drawn from
human-based research. This volume collects the work of others working
across the world with both plant and animal investigations.
Demonstrating the latest methods through real-world case studies, this
volume provides the direction and practical advice needed by legal and
police professionals seeking to gain the evidence needed to prosecute
wildlife crimes.

Offering practical guidance, it helps investigators and lab technicians
decide on best methods, including a determination of when basic
microscopy is sufficient, when DNA testing should occur, and what tests
or combination of tests should be executed in a particular circumstance.
The text illustrates how to identify the species and geographic region
of origin of an unknown sample.

The book is aimed at those with a particular interest in forensic
wildlife investigation but who are not necessarily active in the area.
The scientific material is written at a level such that anyone with an
interest in biology will be able to understand the material provided.
Basic knowledge that is required is provided in separate boxes to
prevent the flow of the chapter being interrupted.
Within the chapters there are case examples to illustrate the application of the scientific test.
