摘要: Illegal trade threatens the survival of many wild species, and molecular forensics can shed light on various questions raised during investigation cases illegal trade. Among these is identity species involved. Here we report a case man who was caught in Brazilian airport trying to travel with 58 avian eggs. He claimed they were quail eggs, but authorities suspected from parrots. The embryos never hatched it not possible identify them based morphology. As 29% parrot are endangered, involved important establish stronger criminal case. Thus, identified embryos' analyses mitochondrial DNA sequences (cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene [COI] 16S ribosomal DNA). Embryonic COI compared those deposited BOLD (The Barcode Life Data System) while their GenBank sequences. Clustering analysis neighbor-joining also performed using GenBank. results, both genes, indicated that 57 parrots (Alipiopsitta xanthops, Ara ararauna, [Amazona aestiva/A. ochrocephala] complex), 1 an owl. This kind data help investigations design species-specific anti-poaching strategies, demonstrate how sequence identification bird powerful conservation tool.
