Optimising recovery of DNA from minimally invasive sampling methods: Efficacy of buccal swabs, preservation strategy and DNA extraction approaches for amphibian studies (2024)
Journal Article
Martin, R., Mullin, K. E., White, N. F. D., Grimason, N., Jehle, R., Wilkinson, J. W., …Maddock, S. T. (2024). Optimising recovery of DNA from minimally invasive sampling methods: Efficacy of buccal swabs, preservation strategy and DNA extraction approaches for amphibian studies. Ecology and Evolution, 14(9), e70294. https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.70294

Studies in evolution, ecology and conservation are increasingly based on genetic and genomic data. With increased focus on molecular approaches, ethical concerns about destructive or more invasive techniques need to be considered, with a push for min...

Extreme genetic depletion upon postglacial colonization hampers determining the provenance of introduced palmate newt populations (2024)
Journal Article
Elfering, R., Mannix, S., Allain, S., Ambu, J., Crochet, P., van Doorn, L., …Wielstra, B. (2024). Extreme genetic depletion upon postglacial colonization hampers determining the provenance of introduced palmate newt populations. Amphibia-Reptilia, 1-8. https://doi.org/10.1163/15685381-bja10181

MtDNA barcoding is regularly applied to determine the provenance of invasive species. Variation in spatial genetic structuring across a species’ range, typically high within glacial refugia and low in postglacially colonized areas, influences the pre...
