THEME ISSUE - Forensic methods in conservation research
A theme issue of ESR focusing on the use of forensic methods in conservation research is in preparation for publication in 2008. There are a number of high precision methodologies that are becoming ever more useful in the study of ecology and conservation of endangered species, often allowing critical insight. These include: molecular genetic fingerprinting; stable isotope, trace element and compound analysis; forensic pathology. Among invited reviews from international experts, manuscripts are invited which describe studies using any forensic methodology to inform conservation. All manuscripts will be published with online open access, and thus high profile and accessibility is assured.
To discuss the suitability of a manuscript for inclusion in this ESR Special, please contact Dr. Stuart Bearhop (Editor - particular interests: trace elements and stable isotopes), Professor Mike Bruford (Editor - particular interests: molecular genetics), Dr. Andrew Cunningham (Editor – particular interests: wildlife pathology) or Dr. Brendan Godley (ESR Editor-in-Chief).
