Characterization of 37 microsatellite loci in mountain lions for use in forensic and population applications
2007  Conservation Genetics (8): 1239-1241

The primary uses of these microsatellite markers will be to aid wildlife forensics investigators in the protection of California's mountain lions from poaching pressures and in the identification of the offending animal involved in attacks on humans. In addition, these loci will be useful in quantifying genetic relationships between and within the different geographic regions of California for wildlife management purposes and should also be of use to researchers in the many other states and countries where mountain lions exist.
