Non-Invasive Genetic Sampling (NIGS)
Collect DNA data without capturing animals. Non-invasive genetic sampling (NIGS) allows you to estimate abundance, sex ratios, and genetic diversity using dung, hair, or environmental samples — reducing stress on wildlife and improving ethical field monitoring.
Applications
- Abundance estimation using genetic mark–recapture models.
- Sex determination through amelogenin gene markers.
- Monitoring elusive, threatened, or endangered species.
- Baseline genetic diversity assessments for long-term conservation planning.
What you get
Sampling protocol guidance (collection, storage, transport, contamination prevention).
Genotyping workflow for individual identification (capture–recapture readiness).
Clear reporting: abundance estimate, sex ratio, confidence intervals (where applicable).
Interpretation and management recommendations (decision-ready output).
