Open AccessLarge mammal telomere length variation across ecoregions
Telomere length provides a physiological proxy for accumulated stress in animals. While there is a growing consensus over how telomere dynamics and their patterns are linked to life history variation and indiv...

Open AccessDe novo discovery of SNPs for genoty** endangered sun parakeets (Aratinga solstitialis) in Guyana
Parrots (Psittaciformes) are among the most endangered groups of birds today and remain threatened by habitat loss and exploitation for the live bird trade. Under such conditions, reliable and non-invasive mon...

Testing a new SNP-chip on the Alpine and Apennine brown bear (Ursus arctos) populations using non-invasive samples
Brown bears in Italy persist in two isolated populations, one in the Alpine and the other in the Apennine mountain range. Both are threatened and elusive. Non-invasive genetics provides a good way to monitor t...

Effects of weather, season, and daylight on female wild boar movement
Animals often modify their behavior to reduce the effects of adverse weather conditions. By studying wild boar equipped with the Global Positioning System (GPS) collars, we explored the effects of weather cond...

The impact of founder events and introductions on genetic variation in the muskox Ovibos moschatus in Sweden
The muskox Ovibos moschatus (Zimmerman 1780) is a specialised arctic mammal with a highly fragmented circumpolar distribution, with native populations in Canada and east Greenland and introduced populations in we...
