Using environmental DNA metabarcoding to monitor fish biodiversity and assess anthropogenic barrier impacts on the river Mersey, UK (2020)
Thesis
Perkins, J. Using environmental DNA metabarcoding to monitor fish biodiversity and assess anthropogenic barrier impacts on the river Mersey, UK. (Dissertation). University of Salford

Freshwater habitats, despite their limited volume, support almost 10% of global biodiversity and are facing increased anthropogenic threats worldwide. Dams and weirs, for example, create habitat fragmentation, changing water flow and water levels, bl...

Exploring population connectivity and adaptation in two deep sea fishes, Molva molva and Molva dypterygia (2020)
Thesis
McGill, L. Exploring population connectivity and adaptation in two deep sea fishes, Molva molva and Molva dypterygia. (Dissertation). University of Salford

The deep sea is typically seen as a stable and constant environment. However, in recent years we are seeing increasing fragility caused by unprecedented human exploitation. Many deep-sea fish species are typically long lived and have specific traits...
