| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we examined the validity of iDNA, DNA included in invertebrates that collect mammal DNA, for the purpose of genetic monitoring of mammals. We conducted this study in Yakushima, where we have continued census of mammals for two decades. Host of leech was genetically easily known, by dissecting their gut, extract DNA, and amplify barcoding region of mammals. All (40/40) of the hosts were identified as sika deer.
