Hare's affairs: Lessons learnt from a noninvasive genetic monitoring for tracking mountain hare individuals ...
Systematic monitoring of individuals and their abundance over time has become an important tool to provide information for conservation. For genetic monitoring studies, noninvasive sampling has emerged as a valuable approach, particularly so for elusive or rare animals. Here, we present the five-yea...

Systematic monitoring of individuals and their abundance over time has become an important tool to provide information for conservation.
