The invasion of the greater white toothed shrew, to Ireland, and its effects on the parasitic prevalence in the native pygmy shrew  (2024)
Thesis

The invasive greater white-toothed shrew (Crocidura russula) was first recorded in Ireland in
2007, where its range has since expanded at an alarming rate and caused the displacement
of the native pygmy shrew (Sorex minutus). As well as displacing... Read More about The invasion of the greater white toothed shrew, to Ireland, and its effects on the parasitic prevalence in the native pygmy shrew .

Comparing the Performance of Three Different Primer Sets for Detecting Mammals Using Environmental DNA (eDNA) Samples (2024)
Thesis

Efficient and cost-effective methods of monitoring vertebrate species are critical for future
conservation management. Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding from aquatic
environments has been increasingly utilised for biodiversity assessments for... Read More about Comparing the Performance of Three Different Primer Sets for Detecting Mammals Using Environmental DNA (eDNA) Samples.

Investigating the Efficiency of Environmental DNA (eDNA) for Detecting Terrestrial and Semi-aquatic Mammals (2024)
Thesis

The global decline of terrestrial and semi-aquatic mammals creates an urgent need for accurate information on species distributions for effective conservation efforts. Environmental DNA (eDNA) has emerged as a reliable, non-invasive, and novel approa...
