Abstract excerpt
Background/Objectives: Non-invasive samples offer an attractive alternative to logistically challenging invasive approaches in wildlife genetic studies but often contain low-quality host DNA that limits downstream analyses. Here, we assessed the applicability of moulted Eurasian goshawk feathers as a DNA source for whole-genome re-sequencing. Methods: We analysed 75 moulted feathers collected opportunistically...
