Typically, males of polygamous mammals are responsible for population connectivity and
gene flow via dispersal, whereas females, showing stronger philopatry, strengthen local …

The current pandemic caused by the SARS CoV-2, tracing back its origin possibly to a
coronavirus associated with bats, has ignited renewed interest in understanding zoonotic …

Noninvasive samples as a source of DNA are gaining interest in genomic studies of
endangered species. However, their complex nature and low endogenous DNA content …

There are very limited data on Babesia species infecting lynx species worldwide, and almost
nothing is known about babesias in the Eurasian lynx, the most widely distributed wild feline …

Small populations of the endangered species are more vulnerable to extinction and hence
require periodic genetic monitoring to establish and revisit the conservation strategies. The …

Wild animals are faced with a broad range of environmental stressors and research is
needed to better understand their effect on populations. Hormone analysis based on …

Selecting appropriate candidates for genetic rescue mostly relies on previous genetic
research and monitoring, while ecological and behavioural traits of the remnant and source …

Establishing effective wildlife conservation measures requires accurate demographic
information such as population size and survival probability: parameters that can be …

Genetic tagging from scats is one of the minimally invasive sampling (MIS) monitoring
approaches commonly used to guide management decisions and evaluate conservation …

Surveys based on indirect signs and camera trapping are two non-invasive methods
extensively used for monitoring elusive mammals. Both approaches can be useful to obtain …
