Individual identification of Amur leopards (Panthera pardus orientalis) using molecular-genetic methods and the population size estimation

For the first time, the genetic structure of a population of Amur leopards ( Panthera pardus orientalis ) in southwest Primorie was analyzed in detail. In 2010–2012, 23 individuals were identified individually. It was shown that the studied microsatellite markers are suitable for individual identifi...

Zusammenfassung:For the first time, the genetic structure of a population of Amur leopards ( Panthera pardus orientalis ) in southwest Primorie was analyzed in detail. In 2010–2012, 23 individuals were identified individually. It was shown that the studied microsatellite markers are suitable for individual identification of leopards, monitoring the population numbers, and creating a unified database of genetic profiles of this species to solve research and nature-conservation tasks.
