A Meta-Analytical Investigation of the Gap between Measured and Predicted Inter-Population Genetic Diversity in Species of High Conservation Concern-The Case of the Critically Endangered European Mink Mustela lutreola L., 1761. [PDF]
Genes (Basel), 2021 peer reviewedAlthough properly designed sampling in population genetic studies is of key importance for planning evidence-informed conservation measures, sampling strategies are rarely discussed. This is the case for the European mink Mustela lutreola,

Leveraging Next-Generation Tools for Genetic Assessment and Demographic Monitoring in Threatened and Elusive Humboldt Martens. [PDF]
Evol ApplABSTRACT Conservation assessments of imperiled species require information on population structure, abundance, and connectivity which benefit from integrated demographic and genetic data. Humboldt martens (Martes caurina humboldtensis) are a federally threatened subspecies of Pacific marten (Martes caurina) whose conservation has been hindered by ...

Genomic Insights Into the Body Size Evolution in Mustelidae (Mammalia: Carnivora). [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe comparative genomic analysis of 19 mustelid species provides insights into the genetic basis of body size evolution, identifying candidate genes and pathways under selection that underlie the remarkable morphological diversity in Mustelidae. ABSTRACT The extraordinary body size diversity within Mustelidae makes this carnivoran family an exceptional

Characterisation of the Historic Demographic Decline of the British European Polecat Population. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT The European polecat (Mustela putorius) has a widespread distribution across many countries of mainland Europe but is documented to be declining within these ranges. In Britain, direct persecution led to a severe decline of the polecat population during the 19th century. Unlike European mainland populations, it is now recovering across much of

Steroid Hormone Metabolite Levels in European Minks: Implications for the Conservation of a Threatened Species. [PDF]
Zoo BiolEvaluation of the Hormonal Profile for the Conservation of the European Mink. Fecal samples were collected from European mink to extract and quantify cortisol, testosterone, and progesterone metabolite levels. Male mink showed higher cortisol and testosterone metabolite levels compared to females, but there were no significant differences in ...
