Abstract excerpt
In the Brenta area of northern Italy, a brown bear Ursus arctos population is rapidly going extinct. Restocking of the population is planned. In order to study the genetics of this highly vulnerable population with a minimum of stress to the animals we have developed a PCR-based method that allows the study of mitochondrial and nuclear gene sequences from droppings collected in the field. This method is generally...
