Wood identification of Dalbergia nigra (CITES Appendix I) using quantitative wood anatomy, principal components analysis and naive Bayes classification.
TLDR
Wood anatomy alone cannot distinguish D. nigra from all other commercially important Dalbergia species likely to be encountered by customs officials, but can be used to reduce the number of specimens that would need further study.About:

The Use of DNA Barcoding in Identification and Conservation of Rosewood (Dalbergia spp.).
TL;DR: It is suggested that the use of DNA barcoding is integrated into the work flow during floristic studies and at national herbaria in the region, as this could significantly increase the number of identified specimens and improve knowledge about species distributions.

Analysis of select Dalbergia and trade timber using direct analysis in real time and time-of-flight mass spectrometry for CITES enforcement.
TL;DR: DART-TOFMS and LDA analysis of 13 species of selected timber samples and the statistical classification allowed for the correct assignment of unknown wood samples can be useful when anatomical identification is difficult but needed in order to support CITES enforcement.

Growth analysis of five Leguminosae native tree species from a seasonal semidecidual lowland forest in Brazil
TL;DR: Investigation of the growth features of Copaifera langsdorffii, Dalbergia nigra, Pterocarpus rohrii, Schizolobium parahyba and Senna multijuga trees in a known age experimental plantation found that all species showed distinct growth rings with annual periodicity formation.
