Open AccessPopulation and landscape genetic analysis of the Malayan sun bear Helarctos malayanus
Conservation genetics can provide data needed by conservation practitioners for their decisions regarding the management of vulnerable or endangered species, such as the sun bear Helarctos malayanus. Throughout i...

Population genomics of the raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides) in Denmark: insights into invasion history and population development
The raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides) has a wide distribution in Europe and is a prominent example of a highly adaptable alien species. It has been recorded sporadically in Denmark since 1980 but observation...

High adaptive variability and virus-driven selection on major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes in invasive wild rabbits in Australia
The rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV) was imported into Australia in 1995 as a biocontrol agent to manage one of the most successful and devastating invasive species, the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cunic...

Going west—invasion genetics of the alien raccoon dog Nyctereutes procynoides in Europe
The raccoon dog, a medium-sized carnivore, has long been recognised as a prominent example of an invasive alien species in Europe with a wide distribution, significant ecological impact and remarkable dynamics...

Characterization of 26 microsatellite marker loci in the fossa (Cryptoprocta ferox)
The fossa (Cryptoprocta ferox) is one of eight carnivore species endemic to Madagascar. This species lives in the forests of Madagascar and is classified as vulnerable by the IUCN due to the loss and fragmentatio...

Genetic structure of the Eurasian lynx population in north-eastern Poland and the Baltic states
We analyzed the genotypes of Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) from three populations in the westernmost part of the species main range. One population was situated at the distribution edge (NE Poland) and the two other ...

Cladogenesis of the European brown hare (Lepus europaeus Pallas, 1778)
A substantial portion of today’s biodiversity is attributed to the climatic oscillations of the Pleistocene Ice Ages. Gradual but dramatic climate changes were accompanied by expansion, contraction, and isolat...

Distribution of haplotypes and microsatellite alleles among Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) in Thailand
Habitat fragmentation often promotes increased inbreeding depression due to interrupted gene flow between populations. In this study, we demonstrate that Asian elephants most likely also suffer from outbreedin...

Characterization of reproductive activity in captive male Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx)
This study characterizes the reproductive activity of male European lynx kept in Central Russia. Four captive adult males were subjected to an electroejaculation prior to (November), during (March) and after (...

A methodological approach for non-invasive sampling for population size estimates in wild boars (Sus scrofa)
Composite microsatellite genotypes were determined at five loci from 35 tissue-sampled wild boars and used as reference genotypes to estimate both allelic drop-out rate and false allele rate in comparison to g...
