Comparing the Performance of Three Different Primer Sets for Detecting Mammals Using Environmental DNA (eDNA) Samples (2024)
Thesis
Smith, E. (2024). Comparing the Performance of Three Different Primer Sets for Detecting Mammals Using Environmental DNA (eDNA) Samples. (Thesis). University of Salford

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...

Investigating the Efficiency of Environmental DNA (eDNA) for Detecting Terrestrial and Semi-aquatic Mammals (2024)
Thesis
Broadhurst, H. (2024). Investigating the Efficiency of Environmental DNA (eDNA) for Detecting Terrestrial and Semi-aquatic Mammals. (Thesis). University of Salford

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...

Barcoding and eDNA metabarcoding of a rapidly changing Neotropical freshwater fish community
Thesis
Sales, N. (in press). Barcoding and eDNA metabarcoding of a rapidly changing Neotropical freshwater fish community. (Thesis). University of Salford

The Neotropical region comprises one of the greatest freshwater fish diversities in the world. Conservation and management actions in freshwater realms face great challenges in this region due to an insufficient knowledge base (e.g. shortage of taxon...
