Fig. 1 in Experimental evaluation of genetic predator identification from saliva traces on wildlife kills

Fig. 1.—Percentages of correct (gray bars) and incorrect (black bars) complete genotypes recovered in DNA extracts from saliva samples col-lected from carcasses 1, 24, or 48 h after predator exposure by comparison with the assumed true genotype, obtained as described in the text, for A) wolves (Canis lupus) or B) lynxes (Lynx lynx). For each time interval, the 1st bar corresponds to results based on single polymerase chain reactions (PCRs), the 2nd bar to results based on consensus genotypes from 3 replicate PCRs, and the 3rd bar to consensus genotypes from 9 PCRs. Note that no incorrect genotypes were obtained when 9 PCRs were used to infer the consensus genotype for samples taken at 1 and 24 h.
