The potential and shortcomings of mitochondrial DNA analysis for cheetah conser...
Meißner, René; Winter, Sven; Westerhüs, Uta; Sliwa, Alexander; Greve, Carola; Bottriell, Lena Godsall; Bottriell, Paul; Fernandes, C; Vercammen, PaulThere are only about 7,100 adolescent and adult cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus) remaining in the wild. With the majority occurring outside protected areas, their numbers are rapidly declining. Evidence-based conservation measures are essential for the survival of this species. Genetic data is routinely used to inform conservation strategies, e.g., by establishing conservation units (CU). A commonly used marker in c...
