Using LM and FESEM, we documented diagnostic feather structures of 11 species of Galliformes for forensic ID ! 🔬 Ring nodes along with multiple anuli- the diagnostic characteristic node shape of Galliformes group were consistently observed across all species studied. ✨

Why it matters: Galliformes are heavily targeted in illegal wildlife trade and hunted for traditional and commercial uses in India as well as over the globe. Our forensic approach can assist law enforcement and help protect these bird species.

"From barbules to barcodes 🧬🪶— decoding Galliformes feathers for species identification & conservation.”
At BOU 2025- Frontiers in Ornithology, I presented how ourforensic database based on microscopy (LM & FESEM) and molecular (mtDNA- 12S, 16S, Cytb) techniques could crack wildlife crime cases !!
