摘要: A hair-trapping survey was carried out in the western River Po plain (NW Italy). We aimed to test whether barbed wire hair snares combination with DNA profiling might represent an effective tool study a low-density badger population. Traps were placed above entrances of twelve setts between 15 February and 30 April 2010. Trapping effort expressed as number trap-nights required pluck sample trend genotyped individual over time analysed by regression analysis. Forty-three samples collected, overall trapping 54.8 per one sample. Twenty-eight yielded reliable genotypes, allowing identification nine badgers. The length storage period (1-3 months) before extraction did not seem affect genotyping success. According model, allowed 75% Our results suggest that efficacy passive devices is affected population density.
