Abstract: Microscopic hair identification is a non-invasive, simple, and economical method applied in scientific studies to identify mammal species. In ecology, this method is used mainly in mastofaunistic inventories and dietary studies. In the last decade, the number of dietary studies using the microscopic identification of hairs has grown substantially, but the application of this technique as a tool for the identification of both predators and prey species is still scant. Thus, the aim of this study was to identify… Show more

“…(Andheria et al 2007;Avinandan et al 2008;Upadhyaya et al 2018). The comparative analyses of the different morphological approaches (cuticular, medullary and cross-section) for prey identification confirmed the efficacy of the medullary approach over the others (Dharaiya and Soni 2012;Souza and Azevedo 2020) (Supplementary data SD3, Supplementary data SD4). Given that the Indian subcontinent currently retains the largest tiger population across the range residing within the most varied habitat types (Jhala et al 2020(Jhala et al , 2021, such information will be of great importance towards habitat management and conflict mitigation.…”

“…The presence and types of elusive mammals could be easily determined through the hair morphological features. Hair in the faecal sample of an animal could also be used for its mastofaunistic inventories and dietary analysis (Souza and Azevedo, 2021). Thus, hair morphology has been quite useful in conservation management projects since it could be used for population genetics, dietary composition of mammals, and habitat occupancy (Cornally and Lawton 2016).…”

“…hyena, leopard, lion, tiger, jaguar, puma and wild goat) and domestic (cow, goat, sheep) mammals from different parts of the world. Hair from different parts of the animals' bodies studied has shown to be valuable for forensic and zoological purposes, and dietary ecology of predators (Verma and Joshi, 2012;Bhat et al, 2014;Farag et al, 2015;Cornally and Lawton, 2016;Sarı and Arpacik, 2018;Tremori et al, 2018;Olaleru et al, 2020, Souza andAzevedo. 2021).…”
