Identification of Forensic Case Using Molecular Markers: a Case Study of Hyaena (hyaena Hyaena)

چکیده
We describe a recent case in which an animal was killed, burnt and body parts were sent to the Institute for identifying species and the method used for extracting DNA from burnt tissues. Two mitochondrial gene cytochrome b and 16s rRNA were used for species identification. Sequence analysis revealed that the burnt sample was of a Hyaena (Hyaena hyaena), a Schedule III animal according to the Wildlife (Protection) Act 1972 of the Government of India.

The family Hyaenidae serves as a useful model in such interspecies comparisons, as its member species display various degrees of sociality. However, the behaviour of one of the hyaenids, the striped hyaena, Hyaena hyaena, is poorly understood. Further research into...

متن کاملBrown hyaena feeding ecology on Namibian farmlands
We identified the diet of brown hyaenas (Hyaena brunnea) on the farmlands of north-central Namibia based on scat analysis, den site orts, and evidence of scavenging at leopard (Panthera pardus) kills. In the absence of larger carnivores, which have been credited with providing larger food items for brown hyaenas elsewhere, we compared interspecific dietary overlap and activity patterns with the...
متن کاملTransient genital abnormalities in striped hyenas (Hyaena hyaena).
The highly masculinized genitalia of female spotted hyenas Crocuta crocuta is unique among mammals: Crocuta have no external vagina so urination, penile intromission and parturition take place through the clitoris, which mimics a fully erectile male penis. Among hyenids, virilization of external female genitalia has previously been observed only in Crocuta, so functional explanations of masculi...
