Objective: This study was designed to facilitate genetic studies that would allow information on population structure and genetic diversity of natural or captive stocks of paca (Cuniculus paca), a species of ecological and socioeconomic importance, by testing cross-amplifcation of 20 heterologous microsatellite primer pairs developed for guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus) and capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris). Results: Those primers that showed the best amplifcation profle in blood samples were subsequently applied to scats and saliva samples, to evaluate their efciency. Of the 13 microsatellite pairs that amplifed in blood, one-third (32%) were successfully amplifed in saliva and scat samples. This initial work demonstrates successful cross-amplif- cation in paca providing a solid and promising foundation for future genetic studies with this species. The ability to quantify genetic diversity using noninvasive samples from free-ranging paca is essential to developing applied management strategies for this large neotropical rodent that is not only a prey favored by wide-ranging carnivores [e.g., jaguar (Panthera onca), puma (Puma concolor)], but is also a species targeted by illegal hunting and wildlife trade. 2020-07-07 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:ar-repo/semantics/artículo info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12219/5078 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/hdl/http://hdl.handle.net/11336/140665 info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/urn/https://bmcresnotes.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13104-020-05312-x info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/http://dx.doi.org/10.1186/s13104-020-05312-x info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess application/pdf application/pdf 1012 KB BioMed Central
