Comparing hair-morphology and molecular methods to identify fecal samples from Neotropical felids.

To avoid certain problems encountered with more-traditional and invasive methods in behavioral-ecology studies of mammalian predators, such as felids, molecular approaches have been employed to identify feces found in the field. However, this method requires a complete molecular biology laboratory,...
