    Structure of an otter (Lutra lutra) population in Germany - results of DNA and hormone analyses from faecal samples

    Population size, one of the basic biological parameters is particularly difficult to estimate for nocturnal animals with cryptic life style and little individual distinctiveness like Eurasian otters (Lutra lutra)...

    Siberian tiger’s recent population bottleneck in the Russian Far East revealed by microsatellite markers

    Because size reduced, or bottlenecked, populations are more prone to adverse events, the detection of genetic bottleneck signatures in wildlife species is highly relevant for conservation. Here we applied 11 m...

    Low genoty** error rates in non-invasively collected samples from roe deer of the Bavarian Forest National Park

    Genetic wildlife monitoring is increasingly carried out on the basis of non-invasively collected samples, whereby the most commonly used DNA sources are skin appendages (hairs, feathers) and faeces. In order t...

    Crossing the border? Structure of the red deer (Cervus elaphus) population from the Bavarian-Bohemian forest ecosystem

    Anthropogenic impact such as overhunting and habitat fragmentation has reduced the total red deer population (Cervus elaphus) across Europe. In Germany remaining subpopulations are even confined to designated are...

    Applicability of major histocompatibility complex DRB1 alleles as markers to detect vertebrate hybridization: a case study from Iberian ibex × domestic goat in southern Spain

    Hybridization between closely related wild and domestic species is of great concern because it can alter the evolutionary integrity of the affected populations. The high allelic variability of Major Histocompa...
