      Mariani, Stefano; Harper, Linsey R.; Collins, Rupert A.; Baillie, Charles; Wangensteen, Owen S.; McDevitt, Allan D.; Heddell-Cowie, Morton; Genner, Martin J. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-08-13)
      Environmental DNA analysis is rapidly transforming biodiversity monitoring and bolstering conservation applications worldwide. This approach has been assisted by the development of metabarcoding PCR primers that are suited for detection of a wide range of taxa. However, little effort has gone into exploring the value of the non-target DNA sequences that are generated in every survey, but subsequently ...
    • 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 ...
