Comparative Study of Human and Animal Hair in Relation with Diameter and Medullary Index
TL;DR: In the present study the diameter of shaft, diameter of medulla and the medullary index of the human and different animal hair were measured and it was found that, medullARY index, which was less than 0.25 in human hair and more than 1 in animal hair is useful parameter to distinguish between human and animal hair.

Microscopic hair characteristics of a few bovid species listed under Schedule-I of Wildlife (Protection) Act 1972 of India
TL;DR: Hair characteristics of 10 bovid species of India, listed under Schedule-I of Wildlife (Protection) Act 1972 of India and some of them quite frequently encountered in illegal trade, were studied using light microscopy to suggest the use of maximum number of parameters for distinguishing sympatric and closely related species.

Identification of mongoose (genus: Herpestes) species from hair through band pattern studies using discriminate functional analysis (DFA) and microscopic examination.
TL;DR: Four species of mongoose were characterised by performing discriminate functional analysis (DFA) on measurements of their dorsal guard hair banding pattern and by microscopic hair characteristics (Cuticular, medullar and cross section); it was possible to distinguish between the four species studied, based on both these methods.
