    • Assessing environmental DNA metabarcoding and camera trap surveys as complementary tools for biomonitoring of remote desert water bodies 

      Mas-Carrió, Eduard; Schneider, Judith; Nasanbat, Battogtokh; Ravchig, Samiya; Buxton, Mmabaledi; Nyamukondiwa, Casper; Stoffel, Céline; Augugliaro, Claudio; Ceacero, Francisco; Taberlet, Pierre Robert Michel; Glaizot, Olivier; Christe, Philippe; Fumagalli, Luca (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-29)
      Biodiversity assessments are indispensable tools for planning and monitoring conservation strategies. Camera traps (CT) are widely used to monitor wildlife and have proven their usefulness. Environmental DNA (eDNA)-based approaches are increasingly implemented for biomonitoring, combining sensitivity, high taxonomic coverage and resolution, non-invasiveness and easiness of sampling, but remain ...

    • Comprehensive coverage of human last meal components revealed by a forensic DNA metabarcoding approach 

      Schneider, Judith; Mas-Carrió, Eduard; Jan, Catherine; Miquel, Christian; Taberlet, Pierre Robert Michel; Michaud, Katarzyna; Fumagalli, Luca (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-23)
      Stomach content analyses are a valuable tool in human forensic science to interpret perimortem events. While the identifcation of food components of plant and animal origin has traditionally been conducted by macro- and microscopical approaches in case of incomplete digestion, molecular methods provide the potential to increase sensitivity and taxonomic resolution. In particular, DNA metabarcoding ...

    • Focal vs. fecal: Seasonal variation in the diet of wild vervet monkeys from observational and DNA metabarcoding data 

      Brun, Loïc; Schneider, Judith; Carrió, Eduard Mas; Dongre, Pooja; Taberlet, Pierre Robert Michel; Waal, van de; Fumagalli, Luca (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-01)
      Assessing the diet of wild animals reveals valuable information about their ecology and trophic relationships that may help elucidate dynamic interactions in ecosystems and forecast responses to environmental changes. Advances in molecular biology provide valuable research tools in this field. However, comparative empirical research is still required to highlight strengths and potential biases of ...

    • Individual genotypes from environmental DNA: Fingerprinting snow tracks of three large carnivore species 

      De Barba, Marta; Baur, Molly; Boyer, Frédéric; Fumagalli, Luca; Konec, Marjeta; Miquel, Christian; Pazhenkova, Elena; Remollino, Nadège; Skrbinšek, Tomaž; Stoffel, Céline; Taberlet, Pierre Robert Michel (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-15)
      Continued advancements in environmental DNA (eDNA) research have made it possible to access intraspecific variation from eDNA samples, opening new opportunities to expand non-invasive genetic studies of wildlife populations. However, the use of eDNA samples for individual genotyping, as typically performed in non-invasive genetics, still remains elusive. We present successful individual genotyping ...

    • Molecular assessment of dietary variation in neighbouring primate groups 

      Schneider, Judith; Brun, Loïc; Taberlet, Pierre Robert Michel; Fumagalli, Luca; van de Waal, Erica (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-02)
      <ol> <li>Facing rapid environmental changes and anthropogenic habitat destruction, animal behavioural plasticity becomes an adaptive potential that needs to be considered in conservation strategies along with, for example, genetic diversity. Here, we evaluate to what extent non-invasive environmental DNA (eDNA) methods may contribute to the assessment of intraspecies behavioural plasticity in terms ...
