    Abstract Although botanical trace evidence is often encountered in case investigations, the utilization of such traces in forensic investigations is still limited. Development of a forensic STR system for the two species of Betula (birch) indigenous to and abundant in North West Europe is a step in enhancing the applicability of traces from these species. We describe six microsatellite markers developed for birch species in detail, including repeat structure, and we propose a nomenclature for the encountered alleles. To assess the population characteristics, the genetic composition of wild, planted and intermediate populations of Betula pendula (a diploid species) and Betula pubescens (a tetraploid species) were investigated. The genetic differences between these two species were larger than the differences between populations of one species, even when both species co-occurred at one location. Therefore allele frequencies were estimated for both species separately. General, conservative random match probabilities were estimated for wild trees based on these allele frequencies (5∙10

    Abstract Diatoms in clothing can be used to determine contact with surface water and contact with a specific water source, which can help link suspects to crime scenes. However, for the study of diatoms it is imperative that they are first extracted from the clothing under investigation. In this study we tested three methods for extracting diatoms from cotton clothing: rinsing with water (RW), rinsing with ethanol (RE) and the dissolution of cotton with nitric and sulphuric acid (DI). The DI method produced the highest average yield and can be used to determine contact with water. The RE method extracted reproducible numbers of diatoms from two different T-shirts and the resulting species compositions were similar to their relevant reference water samples. Therefore, we present rinsing with ethanol as an effective extraction method for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of diatoms in (cotton) clothing.
