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 .

Assessing the gut microbiome and the influence of host genetics on a critically endangered primate, the northern muriqui ( Brachyteles hypoxanthus ) (2024)
Journal Article
Guimaraes Sales, N., da Cruz Kaizer, M., Browett, S. S., Gabriel, S. I., & McDevitt, A. D. (2024). Assessing the gut microbiome and the influence of host genetics on a critically endangered primate, the northern muriqui ( Brachyteles hypoxanthus ). Environmental DNA, 6(3), e559. https://doi.org/10.1002/edn3.559

The Northern muriqui (Brachyteles hypoxanthus) is one of the world's most critically endangered primates, with only ~1000 mature individuals remaining in the wild. Habitat loss and hunting have led to its sharp decline, making conservation efforts cr...

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.

Coupling remote sensing and eDNA to monitor environmental impact: A pilot to quantify the environmental benefits of sustainable agriculture in the Brazilian Amazon (2024)
Journal Article

Monitoring is essential to ensure that environmental goals are being achieved, including those of sustainable agriculture. Growing interest in environmental monitoring provides an opportunity to improve monitoring practices. Approaches that directly...

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...
