A new method for noninvasive genetic sampling of saliva in ecological research

The dataset includes detail of the experimental session (code, day within session, time since the onset), the experimental subjects (code, sex, weight), types of substrate and bait, and attributes of dog behaviour (chewing time, licking time and handling time). Another set of variables include the amount of saliva collected and the DNA concentration in saliva extracts. Finally, the dataset includes binary variables for species identification and individual identification using two different numbers of microsatellite loci, as well as the number of genotyping attempts needed for individual identification and the match between consensus genotypes and reference genotypes obtained from hair samples
