The use of molecular techniques for parentage analysis has been a booming science for
over a decade. The most important technological breakthrough was the introduction of …

Noninvasive genetic approaches continue to improve studies in molecular ecology,
conservation genetics and related disciplines such as forensics and epidemiology …

The human reference genome serves as the foundation for genomics by providing a scaffold
for alignment of sequencing reads, but currently only reflects a single consensus haplotype …

The decreasing cost and increasing scope and power of emerging genomic technologies
are reshaping the field of molecular ecology. However, many modern genomic approaches …

Because of their high variability, microsatellites are still considered the marker of choice for
studies on parentage and kinship in wild populations. Nevertheless, single nucleotide …

Urbanization is a severe form of habitat fragmentation that can cause many species to be
locally extirpated and many others to become trapped and isolated within an urban matrix …

Genetic non-invasive sampling (gNIS) may provide valuable information for population
monitoring, as it allows inferences of population density and key behavioural traits such as …

Many molecular ecology analyses assume the genotyped individuals are sampled at
random from a population and thus are representative of the population. Realistically …

The costs and benefits of natal philopatry are central to the formation and maintenance of
social groups. Badger groups, thought to form passively according to the resource …

Habitat fragmentation can significantly affect mating and pollen dispersal patterns in plant
populations, although the differential effects of the various aspects of fragmentation are …
