Fecal genotyping to estimate small mammal population size, with a comparison to live mark-recapture estimates by William Tim Bean, Mark J. Statham, Madison Treiber, William B. Claflin, Craig M. Fiehler, Benjamin N. Sacks

“…Population estimates were generally similar using noninvasive genetic sampling, although they were quite a bit higher ( = 64 , = 38) on one grid. Noninvasive genetic sampling can overcome many of the limitations of live-trapping for small mammals, but the approach should be tested in additional taxa and systems to provide more generalizable recommendations for sampling schemes.…”
