“…Forensic science needed biological samples to collect DNA from living things [81], [82] (evenly called wet materials). Several papers reported that they used a bioinformatics approach with high-throughput computing to prove the wildlife trade [17], [70], [83]- [86]. This intelligent computing can prove that genetic evidence-based would explain the wildlife's origin [17], [83].…”

The problem is that bioinformatics, as a part of health informatics, plays a role in studying molecular things and genetic studies. Primatologists who studied primates, as well as non-human primates (NHPs), found a dilemma relating to biomedical studies and conservation. Which one to achieve, the goal of being a model animal or their conservation efforts, of course, has very few boundaries. The solution in this study tries to review how to seek to reduce the quantity of NHPs model animals but not reduce their quality, on the other hand, considerations of conservation efforts. The research contribution in this paper proposed authors' perspectives according to the context of the NHPs model as well as conservation efforts, which are considered for dry or wet materials, which means that the genetic resources come. This study would give the 3Rs principle idea, reducing, which contributes to its conservation efforts. This review method used literature surf, scientific selection, and report writing. The result proposed the discussion about related scientific sources as well as the authors' perspective to solve the problem of animal model uses in NHPs. The conclusion is that NHPs are fortunate to receive special attention outside their studies as animal models, even though they are still used in research to benefit humans. Of course, the benefits and drawbacks of using genetic samples—whether wet or dry—are only relevant when used as research materials for medical and bioinformatics investigations. So that there are no more instances of increasing conservation status brought on by the volume of research on the use of model animals, efforts to conserve NHPs as a component of wildlife in nature must be considered.

“…Stable isotope probing (SIP) technology can be used to track the flow of elements in different substances and organisms in the environment, thus helping scientists infer various chemical reactions or biological processes in nature [91][92][93]. In recent years, nucleic acid (DNA/RNA) detection has been widely combined with SIP technology to link microbial metabolic function with phylogenetic information in environmental samples such as sediment, soil and water [94,95]. The advantage of DNA-SIP technology is that it avoids the deficiency of traditional culture methods and facilitates the identification of target microorganisms by tracking labeled substrates [96].…”

Intercropping systems can flexibly use resources such as sunlight, heat, water, and nutrients in time and space, improve crop yield and land utilization rates, effectively reduce continuous cropping obstacles and the occurrence of diseases and insect pests, and control the growth of weeds. Thus, intercropping is a safe and efficient ecological planting mode. The legume–cereal intercropping system is the most common planting combination. Legume crops fix nitrogen from the atmosphere through their symbiotic nitrogen fixation abilities, and the fixed nitrogen can be transferred to and utilized by cereal crops in various ways. The symbiotic nitrogen fixation efficiency of legume crops was improved by reducing the inhibition of soil nitrogen on nitrogenase activity through competitive absorption of soil nitrogen. However, the effects of nitrogen transformation and distribution in intercropping systems, and microbial community structure characteristics on nitrogen transfer need to be further explored. In this review, ⅰ) we present the transformation and distribution of nitrogen in the legume–cereal intercropping system; ⅱ) we describe the soil microbial community characteristics in intercropping systems; and ⅲ) we discuss the advantages of using modern biological molecular techniques to study soil microorganisms. We conclude that intercropping can increase the diversity of soil microorganisms, and the interaction between different plants has an important impact on the diversity and composition of the bacterial and fungal communities. The extensive application of modern biological molecular techniques in soil microbial research and the great contribution of intercropping systems to sustainable agriculture are particularly emphasized in this review.

“…In such cases, it may be more advantageous to source materials from captive animals, to legalize and regulate some trade or to restrict the trade to affected cultures [126]. The use of new technologies, such as the elemental or genetic analyses of animal products, can help regulate such limited trade and prevent the inclusion of illegally wild-caught animals or their body parts into legalized trade [127,128]. It may also be possible to substitute physical symbols with substitutes derived from domesticated birds.…”

The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment proposed four categories of ecosystem services as regulating, provisioning, supporting and cultural. Of these, cultural services have been the most difficult to quantify despite playing a key role in developing society’s supporting services to ecosystems. By reviewing a series of case studies related to the cultural services derived from raptors, we examine relations between tangible ecosystem services and ‘knowledge’ and ‘beliefs’ as part of supporting services from human societies to ecosystems. We identified types of raptor regulating and provisioning services and patterns in service--knowledge-beliefs that defined positive or negative outcomes for raptor conservation. We also demonstrate how possible interactions between physical, experiential, physical-symbolic and representative-symbolic cultural services and between different stakeholders can create incentives or obstacles for conservation. Predictable patterns in service-knowledge-beliefs provide a framework upon which socio-cultural and ethnobiological aspects of raptor conservation may be combined with ecological research to support conservation initiatives. Based on these patterns we present examples of how cultural services might be employed to better promote raptor conservation while respecting the beliefs and traditions of stakeholders.
