Non-invasive genotyping and spatial mark-recapture methods to estimate European pine marten density in forested landscapes

[摘要] Accurate wildlife population density estimates are important for conservation purposes, but can be difficult to obtain where species are elusive or rare. We use individual genotypes derived from hair samples and Spatially Explicit Capture Recapture (SECR)
