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

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 .

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...
