The Effects of Dogs on Wildlife Communities (2008, methodology): “To test the accuracy of the scat identifications, the DNA from 50 scat samples was identified to species (Paxinos et al. 1997, Mills et al. 2000).”
Diet of sympatric pine marten (Martes martes) and stone marten (Martes foina) identified by genotyping of DNA from faeces (2007, methodology): “Molecular genetics provides reliable methods of species identification, and is increasingly used for distinguishing faeces of different species (Reed et al. 1997, Farrell et al. 2000, Mills et al. 2000, Davison et al. 2002, Dalén et al. 2004).”
Identifying species from pieces of faeces (2004, methodology): “Mills et al. (2000) analysed hair samples and used a combination of felid-specific primers and several restriction enzymes that solves these two problems.”
Species-specific mitochondrial DNA markers for identification of non-invasive samples from sympatric carnivores in the Iberian Peninsula (2008, methodology): “Assignment to species relies on diagnostic restriction patterns obtained with combinations of restriction enzymes (Foran et al. 1997a, b; Paxinos et al. 1997; Mills et al. 2000; Riddle et al. 2003; Lucentini et al. 2007).”
Utility of Environmental DNA for Monitoring Rare and Indicator Macroinvertebrate Species (2014, background): “We targeted COI because mitochondrial genes have many more copies per cell than nuclear genes (Mills et al. 2000) and, thus, are more likely to be detected.”
NONINVASIVE GENETIC SAMPLING TOOLS FOR WILDLIFE BIOLOGISTS: A REVIEW OF APPLICATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ACCURATE DATA COLLECTION (2005, methodology): “…monkey, orangutan Carnivores Badger, brown bear, canids, cougar, Iynx, mustelids, otter, seals Bats Herbivores Bighorn sheep, elephant, red deer Rabbit, reindeer, rhinocerous Insects Butterfly Citation Foran et al.1997b, Tablerlet and Bouvet 1992 Mills et al. 2000b, Weaver et al. in press.”
Comparison of methods to detect rare and cryptic species: A case study using the red fox (Vulpes vulpes) (2009, unknown): “Innovative, species-targeted trap designs have been used to sample populations of many rare and elusive carnivores, with hair or scat collection and subsequent DNA analysis being much more sensitive and cost-effective than the more frequently used methods (e.g. Taberlet et al. 1997; Kohn et al. 1999”
Spatial scaling and multi-model inference in landscape genetics: Martes americana in northern Idaho (2010, methodology): “DNA from one hair sample per hair-snare station was extracted using the Qiagen DNeasy Tissue kit (Qiagen Inc., Hilden, Germany) with modifications as outlined in Mills et al. (2001).”
Hybridization Between Canada Lynx and Bobcats: Genetic Results and Management Implications (2004, methodology): “We detected a minimum of 20 different genotypes that were consistent with lynx based on mtDNA (Mills et al. 2001); 17 were associated with the 40 noninvasively collected scats and hairs from Minnesota (Table 2) and three corresponded to the incidental kills.”
