Molecular species identification for multiple carnivores

Species identification is crucial for carnivore conservation and ecological studies. We present a simple molecular genetic test that amplifies DNA of 16 wild carnivore species from three continents. The test is based on co-amplification of two mitochondrial DNA fragments and scoring of the resulting...
