Genetic diversity in caribou linked to past and future climate change
Caribou populations that have experienced a relatively stable climatic history have high genetic diversity and occur in regions where climate stability is expected to continue. These findings, based on analyse...

High genetic connectivity and introgression from domestic reindeer characterize northern Alaska caribou herds
Defining genetic populations and detecting hybridization with introduced or domestic taxa are two major concerns for the conservation of population-level diversity. We studied the genetic population structure ...

Fine-scale social and spatial genetic structure in Sitka black-tailed deer
The spatial extent of Sitka black-tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus sitkensis) populations below the regional scale is relatively unknown, as is dispersal between populations. Here, we use noninvasive samples to g...

Phylogenetic analysis of mitochondrial DNA sequences reveals polyphyly in the goitred gazelle (Gazella subgutturosa)
Goitred gazelle (Gazella subgutturosa) rank among the most endangered mammals on the Arabian Peninsula and the Asian steppes. Past conservation efforts have been plagued by confusion about the phylogenetic relati...

Individual identification of Sitka black-tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus sitkensis) using DNA from fecal pellets
We tested a protocol for extracting DNA from fecal pellets from Sitka black-tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus sitkensis) and evaluated genoty** performance of previously developed microsatellite markers as well ...

Effects of time and rainfall on PCR success using DNA extracted from deer fecal pellets
Non-invasive wildlife research using DNA from feces has become increasingly popular. Recent studies have attempted to solve problems associated with recovering DNA from feces by investigating the influence of ...

Founder effect and bottleneck signatures in an introduced, insular population of elk
The population of elk (Cervus elaphus roosevelti) inhabiting Afognak Island, Alaska, USA arose from an introduction of 8 individuals from an established population in Washington, USA in 1929, and recently peaked ...

Sex identification of northern ungulates using low quality and quantity DNA
We evaluated PCR primer sets to determine the most effective technique for identifying sex of northern ungulates. We sought markers that required only a single pair of primers to amplify both X- and Y-linked a...
