| noninvasive molecular tracking of colonizing wolf (canis lupus) packs in the western italian alps. | we used noninvasive methods to obtain genetic and demographic data on the wolf packs (canis lupus), which are now recolonizing the alps, a century after their eradication. dna samples, extracted from presumed wolf scats collected in the western italian alps (piemonte), were genotyped to determine species and sex by sequencing parts of the mitochondrial dna (mtdna) control-region and zfx/zfy genes. individual genotypes were identified by multilocus microsatellite analyses using a multiple tubes p ... | 2002 | 11975702 |
