摘要: As sample quality and quantity is a crucial factor in non-invasive genetics, we focused on the improvement of sampling efficiency glue hair traps. We invented an optimized trap with moveable parts which enhanced high-quality genetic material. With aid trap, were able to remotely pluck sufficient amount bulbs from our study animal common hamster (Cricetus cricetus) trapping success 49.3% after one survey night. The number collected hairs ranged between 1 50, average 20.7 ± 14.8. Subsequently, use combination simplified laboratory routine allowed us amplify species-specific microsatellites amplification 96.2% ADO 4.6%. This may find usage for species identification or could be used as instrument long-term monitoring mammal populations.
