Estimating the probability of identity among genotypes in natural populations: cautions and guidelines
- L. Waits, G. Luikart, P. Taberlet
- Medicine, Biology
- Molecular ecology
- 1 January 2001
Individual identification using DNA fingerprinting methods is emerging as a critical tool in conservation genetics and molecular ecology. Statistical methods that estimate the probability of sampling… Expand
Reliable genotyping of samples with very low DNA quantities using PCR.
- P. Taberlet, S. Griffin, +5 authors J. Bouvet

- 1 August 1996
Our purpose was to identify an experimental procedure using PCR that provides a reliable genotype at a microsatellite locus using only a few picograms of template DNA. Under these circumstances, it… Expand
A new method for estimating the size of small populations from genetic mark–recapture data
The use of non‐invasive genetic sampling to estimate population size in elusive or rare species is increasing. The data generated from this sampling differ from traditional mark–recapture data in… Expand
Landscape genetics: where are we now?
- A. Storfer, M. Murphy, S. Spear, R. Holderegger, L. Waits
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular ecology
- 1 September 2010
Landscape genetics has seen rapid growth in number of publications since the term was coined in 2003. An extensive literature search from 1998 to 2008 using keywords associated with landscape… Expand
Noninvasive genetic tracking of the endangered Pyrenean brown bear population
- P. Taberlet, J. Camarra, +6 authors J. Bouvet
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular ecology
- 1 September 1997
Pyrenean brown bears Ursus arctos are threatened with extinction. Management efforts to preserve this population require a comprehensive knowledge of the number and sex of the remaining individuals… Expand
Putting the ‘landscape’ in landscape genetics
- A. Storfer, M. Murphy, +7 authors L. Waits
- Biology, Medicine
- Heredity
- 1 March 2007
Landscape genetics has emerged as a new research area that integrates population genetics, landscape ecology and spatial statistics. Researchers in this field can combine the high resolution of… Expand
An empirical evaluation of genetic distance statistics using microsatellite data from bear (Ursidae) populations.
- D. Paetkau, L. Waits, P. Clarkson, L. Craighead, C. Strobeck
- Biology, Medicine
- Genetics
- 1 December 1997
A large microsatellite data set from three species of bear (Ursidae) was used to empirically test the performance of six genetic distance measures in resolving relationships at a variety of scales… Expand
NONINVASIVE GENETIC SAMPLING TOOLS FOR WILDLIFE BIOLOGISTS: A REVIEW OF APPLICATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ACCURATE DATA COLLECTION
- L. Waits, D. Paetkau
- Biology
- 1 October 2005
Abstract Noninvasive genetic sampling provides great potential for research and management applications in wildlife biology. Researchers can obtain DNA from a variety of sources including hair,… Expand

Molecular Detection of Vertebrates in Stream Water: A Demonstration Using Rocky Mountain Tailed Frogs and Idaho Giant Salamanders
- C. Goldberg, D. Pilliod, Robert S. Arkle, L. Waits
- Biology, Medicine
- PloS one
- 26 July 2011
Stream ecosystems harbor many secretive and imperiled species, and studies of vertebrates in these systems face the challenges of relatively low detection rates and high costs. Environmental DNA… Expand
