Experimental evaluation of genetic predator identification from saliva traces on wildlife kills Author Harms, Verena Author Nowak, Carsten Author Carl, Susanne Author Muñoz-Fuentes, Violeta text Journal of Mammalogy 2015 2015-03-27 96 1 138 143 http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/jmammal/gyu014 journal article 10.1093/jmammal/gyu014 0022-2372 10632527

Table 2. —Number of positive polymerase chain reactions (PCRs), allelic dropout, and false alleles by locus for DNA extracts from saliva traces for wolves (Canis lupus) and lynxes (Lynx lynx) collected from carcasses after 1, 24, and 48 h after predator exposure. Results are based on single PCRs compared to the assumed true genotype obtained as described in the text. The number of PCRs performed per locus was 36. Number of positive PCRs = pPCR; allelic drop out = ADO; false alleles = FA.
