摘要: Obtaining information on wild mammal populations has been a long-standing logistical problem. However, an array of non-invasive techniques is available, including recently developed molecular genetic for the analysis feces (molecular scatology). A battery non-invasive, approaches can be used feces, which in conjunction with conventional are potentially useful assesing structure, demography and life history mammals. Several technical problems reman before large-scale studies undertaken productively, but already providing insight into population subdivision, food habits, reproduction, sex ratio parasitology free-ranging populations.
