Abstract

Genetic data are widely used to test ecological and evolutionary hypotheses that can be applicable to the conservation of wild carnivore populations. We present the most typical information derived from genetic data such as species identification, sex determination, and individual identification, and we address the practicalities of collection and preservation of the most common non-invasive genetic samples. A review of the most widely used molecular markers (mitochondrial DNA, microsatellites, SNPs) and the latest technological developments (whole genome amplifi cation, next generation sequencing) for genetic analysis of wild populations is also included, as well as a few tools for DNA analysis. Finally, we recommend a series of measures to increase the potential success of a genetic study in a wild carnivore species.
