abstract = "In 2022, INBO conducted an initial genetic study into the relationships between animals from Flanders. This involved both captive and wild muntjacs. By detecting variations in the genome and comparing them between individuals, we were able to deduce related groups and even family relationships.

In this follow-up study, we analysed 74 new or previously unprocessed samples from Flanders and surrounding regions. The genetic database now contains data from 212 animals. The results confirm patterns of distribution through natural dispersion and human activity. Certain clusters extend across several, often neighbouring municipalities, and even across national borders: for example, an animal from the Netherlands appears to have originated from a population in Antwerp.

The genetic database provides valuable information about the distribution of muntjac and is an important tool for monitoring and enforcement.",
