Team streamlines DNA collection and analysis for wildlife conservation UofIllinois
Ethical review and approval was not required for the animal study because only non-invasive fecal DNA samples were used. Collection and export/import of elephant dung was sanctioned by appropriate authorities prior to collection, including South African National Parks, the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries in South Africa and the United States Department of Agriculture in the United States of America.
Patrícia Pečnerová received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 892446. For samples from free-ranging elephants, we thank CERU. For samples from elephants in zoos, we thank Lara Metrione and Linda Penfold of the South-East Zoo Alliance for Reproduction and Conservation; Dianna Lydick, Lora Baumhardt and the Dallas Zoo; and Fatima Ramis, Corey Neatrou and the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens.
