Estimating the Abundance of a Cryptic, Endangered Marsupial, Mala (Lagorchestes hirsutus) Using Microsatellite and Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Genotyping Panels

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Developing high‐quality, non‐invasive population monitoring techniques is important for endangered species that are difficult to trap or susceptible to capture myopathy. One such species is the mala (Lagorchestes hirsutus, Central Australian subspecies),
