    • Environmental DNA metabarcoding as an effective and rapid tool for fish monitoring in canals 

      McDevitt, Allan D; Sales, Naiara Guimaraes; Browett, Samuel S.; Sparnenn, Abbie O.; Mariani, Stefano; Wangensteen Fuentes, Owen Simon; Coscia, Ilaria; Benvenuto, Chiara (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-06-10)
      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 wider snapshot of fish assemblages. Given the semi‐lotic nature of canals, we encourage the use of eDNA as a fast and cost‐effective tool to detect and ...

    • Fishing for mammals: Landscape‐level monitoring of terrestrial and semi‐aquatic communities using eDNA from riverine systems 

      Sales, Naiara Guimaraes; McKenzie, Maisie B.; Drake, Joseph; Harper, Lynsey R.; Browett, Samuel S.; Coscia, Ilaria; Wangensteen Fuentes, Owen Simon; Baillie, Charles; Bryce, Emma; Dawson, Deborah A.; Ochu, Erinma; Hänfling, Bernd; Lawson Handley, Lori; Mariani, Stefano; Lambin, Xavier; Sutherland, Christopher; McDevitt, Allan D (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-10)
      1: Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding has revolutionized biomonitoring in both marine and freshwater ecosystems. However, for semi‐aquatic and terrestrial animals, the application of this technique remains relatively untested.<p> <p>2: We first assess the efficiency of eDNA metabarcoding in detecting semi‐aquatic and terrestrial mammals in natural lotic ecosystems in the UK by comparing ...

    • Resource competition drives an invasion-replacement event among shrew species on an island 

      Browett, Samuel S.; Synnott, Rebecca; O'Meara, Denise B.; Antwis, Rachael E.; Browett, Stephen S.; Bown, Kevin J.; Wangensteen, Owen S.; Dawson, Deborah A.; Searle, Jeremy B.; Yearsley, Jon M.; McDevitt, Allan D. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-01-08)
      Invasive mammals are responsible for the majority of native species extinctions on islands. While most of these extinction events will be due to novel interactions between species (e.g. exotic predators and naive prey), it is more unusual to find incidences where a newly invasive species causes the decline/extinction of a native species on an island when they normally coexist elsewhere in their ...
