| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purposes of this study are to reveal genetic structure of snow leopard populations in western Mongolia and contribute to effective conservation and management of this species. We genetically analyzed fecal samples collected from multiple areas in western Mongolia and found low genetic differentiation and no significant differences in genetic diversity among populations, which suggests that gene flow among populations persists in western Mongolia. To conserve snow leopards in western Mongolia, maintaining the connectivity among patchily distributed habitats is essential. Fecal genetic analyses developed in this study will be useful for genetic monitoring of snow leopard populations.
