Reconstructing Mammalian Phylogenies: A Detailed Comparison of the Cytochrome b and Cytochrome Oxidase Subunit I Mitochondrial Genes
The phylogeny and taxonomy of mammalian species were originally based upon shared or derived morphological characteristics. However, genetic analyses have more recently played an increasingly important role in confirming existing or establishing often radically different mammalian groupings and phylogenies. The two most commonly used genetic loci in species identification are...Kitchener, Andrew C ; Tobe, Shanan S ; Linacre, Adrian

Where does the tiger come from? – A robust, molecular technique for simultaneous identification of endangered species and subspecies
The Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) monitors the international trade in endangered animal and plant species; a high profile example is the tiger, Panthera tigris. We report on the application of a SNaPshot multiplex technique to simultaneously identify tiger species and...Kitpipit, Thitika ; Tobe, Shanan S ; Kitchener, Andrew C ; Gill, Peter ; Linacre, Adrian

The development and validation of a single SNaPshot multiplex for tiger species and subspecies identification — Implications for forensic purposes
The tiger (Panthera tigris) is currently listed on Appendix I of the Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora; this affords it the highest level of international protection. To aid in the investigation of alleged illegal trade in tiger body parts and derivatives, molecular...Kitpipit, Thitika ; Tobe, Shanan S ; Kitchener, Andrew C ; Gill, Peter ; Linacre, Adrian
