Faecal DNA template as non-invasive tools in order to distinguish the endangered Pyrenean desman ( Galemys pyrenaicus , Eulipotyphla, Talpidae) from Mediterranean water shrews ( Neomys anomalus , Soricomorpha, Soricidae)

[摘要] The molecular genetic tools using non-invasive samples such as faeces have an important role for the monitoring of wildlife and identification of elusive and rare species of semi-aquatic vertebrates. However, under aquatic environmental conditions the fae
