Miller, Susan M.; Clarke, Amy B.; Bloomer, Paulette; Guthrie, Alan John; Harper, Cindy Kim (Springer, 2016-09)Wildlife is a multi-million dollar industry in South Africa ranging from intensively farmed animals on small properties to free-roaming animals in large functional ecosystems. Specific concerns surrounding the ...

De Jager, G.J. (Deon); Swarts, Petrus; Harper, Cindy Kim; Bloomer, Paulette (Wiley, 2017-11)The identification of related and unrelated individuals from molecular marker data is often difficult, particularly when no pedigree information is available and the data set is large. High levels of relatedness or inbreeding ...

De Jager, G.J. (Deon); Harper, Cindy Kim; Bloomer, Paulette (Public Library of Science, 2020-08-14)Wildlife ranching, although not considered a conventional conservation system, provides a sustainable model for wildlife utilization and could be a source of valuable genetic material. However, increased fragmentation ...

Miller, Susan M.; Druce, Dave J.; Dalton, Desire L.; Harper, Cindy Kim; Kotze, Antoinette; Packer, Craig; Slotow, Rob; Bloomer, Paulette (Springer, 2020-02)Fragmented wildlife populations are challenged by limited gene flow that can lead to significant inbreeding. The lion (Panthera leo) population in South Africa’s Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park (HiP) started from a small founder ...
