| Abstract | The Japanese serow (Capricornis crispus) is endemic to mountain regions in Japan. Due to the difficulty of directly observing Japanese serows, traces such as faeces have been utilized to study their distribution and estimate their population size. However, the recent population increase of sika deer (Cervus nippon) often leads misidentification of sika deer faecal pellets as those of Japanese serows. Therefore, we developed species identification methods to differentiate between the Japanese serow and sika deer based on mtDNA cytchrome b gene sequences, and applied the method to faecal samples collected for a survey program on the Japanese serow. In 67 field-collected faecal samples examined, we could amplify mtDNA at relatively high PCR succession rates (86.6%). Species identification based on PCR–RFLPs using the cytochrome b gene revealed that 41.4% of faecal pellets of sika deer were misidentified as being from Japanese serow. This suggests that the present population size of the Japanese serow may be overestimated. This species identification method eliminates such misidentifications and should become a powerful tool for studying Japanese serow, including their distribution, precise population size, and estimations of density. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
