Universal closed-tube barcoding for monitoring the shark and ray trade in megadiverse conservation hotspots (2022)
Journal Article
Prasetyo, A., Cusa, M., Murray, J., Agung, F., Muttaqin, E., Maraini, S., & McDevitt, A. (2022). Universal closed-tube barcoding for monitoring the shark and ray trade in megadiverse conservation hotspots. bioRxiv, https://doi.org/10.1101/2022.11.30.518468

Trade restrictions for many endangered elasmobranch species exist to disincentivise their exploitation and curb their declines. However, the variety of products and the complexity of import/export routes make trade monitoring challenging. We investig...

Molecular phylogeny and systematics of bald uakaris, genus Cacajao (Primates: Pitheciidae), with the description of a new species. (2022)
Journal Article
Ennes Silva, F., Valsecchi do Amaral, J., Roos, C., Bowler, M., Röhe, F., Sampaio, R., …Boubli, J. (2022). Molecular phylogeny and systematics of bald uakaris, genus Cacajao (Primates: Pitheciidae), with the description of a new species. Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 173, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ympev.2022.107509

Bald uakaris, genus Cacajao, are Amazonian primates currently classified as one species and four subspecies based on the patterns of pelage coloration. In this study, we test if their current taxonomy is represented by the phylogenetic relationship o...

Using eDNA to construct community assemblages of amphibians at sites infected with Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans in the Netherlands. (2022)
Thesis
Davison, A. (2022). Using eDNA to construct community assemblages of amphibians at sites infected with Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans in the Netherlands. (Dissertation). University of Salford

Amphibians worldwide are in decline with one of the main culprits being the fungal disease chytridiomycosis. This fungus affects the skin of amphibians, leading to excessive skin shedding or skin lesions which, in many cases, result in death. The rec...

Environmental DNA metabarcoding and citizen science as a cost-effective and rapid tool for monitoring terrestrial mammalian species (2022)
Thesis
Lavin, J. Environmental DNA metabarcoding and citizen science as a cost-effective and rapid tool for monitoring terrestrial mammalian species. (Dissertation). University of Salford

The use of environmental DNA (eDNA) has become increasingly important as a surveying technique for monitoring rare, elusive and/or invasive species. eDNA metabarcoding (which targets multiple species simultaneously) has been frequently used to monito...
