Noninvasive genetics based on microsatellite markers has become an indispensable tool
for wildlife monitoring and conservation research over the past decades. However, …

By combining high‐throughput sequencing with target enrichment (‘hybridization capture’),
researchers are able to obtain molecular data from genomic regions of interest for projects …

Determining species distributions can be extremely challenging but is crucial to ecological
and conservation research. Environmental DNA (eDNA) approaches have shown particular …

A selective sweep is the result of strong positive selection driving newly occurring or standing
genetic variants to fixation, and can dramatically alter the pattern and distribution of allelic …

Over the past ~40 years, several attempts were made to reintroduce Eurasian lynx to
suitable habitat within their former distribution range in Western Europe. In general, limited …

The Leopard cat Prionailurus bengalensis is a habitat generalist that is widely distributed
across Southeast Asia. Based on morphological traits, this species has been subdivided into …

The Caucasian lynx, Lynx lynx dinniki, has one of the southernmost distributions in the Eurasian
lynx range, covering Anatolian Turkey, the Caucasus and Iran. Little is known about the …

Targeted capture coupled with high‐throughput sequencing can be used to gain information
about nuclear sequence variation at hundreds to thousands of loci. Divergent reference …

Background. The bay cat Catopuma badia is endemic to Borneo, whereas its sister species
the Asian golden cat Catopuma temminckii is distributed from the Himalayas and southern …

Background The members of the genus Muntiacus are of particular interest to evolutionary
biologists due to their extreme chromosomal rearrangements and the ongoing discussions …
