    Author : Robert Spitzer; [2015]
    Keywords : molecular ecology; SNPs; pedigree reconstruction; rarefaction; population estimates;

    Abstract : Reliable population estimates are an important aspect of sustainable wildlife management but usually difficult to obtain for rare and elusive large carnivores.
