Noninvasive genetic sampling reveals intrasex territoriality in wolverines.
Due to its conspicuous manifestations and its capacity to shape the configuration and dynamics of wild populations, territorial behavior has long intrigued ecologists. Territoriality and other animal interactions in situ have traditionally been studied via direct observations and telemetry. Here, we explore whether noninvasive genetic sampling, which is increasingly supplementing traditional fi...
متن کاملReview of capture-recapture methods applicable to noninvasive genetic sampling.
The use of noninvasive genetic sampling to identify individual animals for capture-recapture studies has become widespread in the past decade. Strong emphasis has been placed on the field protocols and genetic analyses with fruitful results. Little attention has been paid to the capture-recapture application for this specific type of data beyond stating the effects of assumption violations. Her...
متن کاملNoninvasive genome sampling in chimpanzees.
The inevitable has happened: genomic technologies have been added to our noninvasive genetic sampling repertoire. In this issue of Molecular Ecology, Perry et al. (2010) demonstrate how DNA extraction from chimpanzee faeces, followed by a series of steps to enrich for target loci, can be coupled with next-generation sequencing. These authors collected sequence and single-nucleotide polymorphism...
متن کاملA New Method for Noninvasive Genetic Sampling of Saliva in Ecological Research
Noninvasive samples for genetic analyses have become essential to address ecological questions. Popular noninvasive samples such as faeces contain degraded DNA which may compromise genotyping success. Saliva is an excellent alternative DNA source but scarcity of suitable collection methods makes its use anecdotal in field ecological studies. We develop a noninvasive method of collection that co...
متن کاملNoninvasive transcutaneous sampling of glucose by electroporation.
BACKGROUND In people with diabetes, blood glucose levels should be monitored regularly to prevent serious complications associated with diabetes. This involves the invasive method of withdrawing blood, which causes inconvenience to patients. The objective of this study was to investigate the efficiency of the noninvasive electroporation and transcutaneous sampling (ETS) technique for predicting...
