Journal Article
Harper, L., Lawson Handley, L., Carpenter, A., Ghazali, M., Di Muri, C., Macgregor, C., …Hänfling, B. (2019). Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding of pond water as a tool to survey conservation and management priority mammals.

Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding can identify terrestrial taxa utilising aquatic habitats alongside aquatic communities, but terrestrial species' eDNA dynamics are understudied. We evaluated eDNA metabarcoding for monitoring semi-aquatic and te...

The application of environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding as a biomonitoring tool has greatly increased in the last decade. However, most studies have focused on aquatic macro-organisms in temperate areas (e.g., fishes). We apply eDNA metabarcoding t...

Environmental DNA metabarcoding as an effective and rapid tool for fish monitoring in canals (2019)
Journal Article
McDevitt, A., Sales, N., Browett, S., Sparnenn, A., Mariani, S., Wangensteen Fuentes, O., …Benvenuto, C. (2019). Environmental DNA metabarcoding as an effective and rapid tool for fish monitoring in canals. Journal of Fish Biology, 95(2), 679-682. https://doi.org/10.1111/jfb.14053

We focus on a case study along an English canal comparing environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding with two types of electrofishing techniques (wade‐and‐reach and boom‐boat). In addition to corroborating data obtained by electrofishing, eDNA provided a... Read More about Environmental DNA metabarcoding as an effective and rapid tool for fish monitoring in canals.

Non-invasive monitoring for population assessments of a critically endangered Neotropical primate (2019)
Thesis
Da Cruz Kaizer, M. Non-invasive monitoring for population assessments of a critically endangered Neotropical primate. (Thesis). University of Salford

The northern muriqui (Brachyteles hypoxanthus), is a Critically Endangered primate endemic to the Atlantic Forest of Brazil. Remnant populations of muriquis suffer from a wide range of anthropogenic pressures and face a high risk of extinction due...
