The reintroduction of the Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra) into the Netherlands: hidden life revealed by noninvasive genetic monitoring (2010, background): “extracting DNA from biological samples such as hair, faeces, or urine without handling, capturing or even observing the animals (Kohn and Wayne 1997; Taberlet et al. 1999; Piggott and Taylor 2003; Waits and Paetkau 2005) yields details on elusive and nocturnal animals like bears (Kendall et al. 20”
Noninvasive population genetics: a review of sample source, diet, fragment length and microsatellite motif effects on amplification success and genotyping error rates (2006, background): “It has thus been put forward as a chance for investigating the biology of elusive, rare and/ or endangered species (Piggott and Taylor 2003).”
Microsatellites for ecologists: a practical guide to using and evaluating microsatellite markers. (2006, unknown): “Note that while non-invasive sampling (based on skin, hair or faecal samples) is often useful, it often requires a more intensive protocol for genotyping and leads to a higher error rate than when properly preserved tissue samples are used (reviewed by Taberlet et al. 1999; Piggott & Taylor 2003 ).”
