Explanation

 Non-invasive Genetic Sampling:

This method involves collecting genetic material (like DNA) from animals without direct contact, for example, through scat, hair, or shed skin.

Applications:

Species Identification: Identifying species based on genetic markers.

Individual Identification: Distinguishing between individuals within a population.

Population Size Estimation: Estimating the size of a population using genetic data.

Genetic Diversity Analysis: Assessing the genetic diversity and structure of populations.
