Journal Article
Gibson, T. I., Carvalho, G., Ellison, A., Gargiulo, E., Hatton-Ellis, T., Lawson-Handley, L., …Creer, S. (2023). Environmental DNA metabarcoding for fish diversity assessment in a macrotidal estuary: A comparison with established fish survey methods. Estuarine, coastal and shelf science, 294, Article 108522. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecss.2023.108522

Fishes are a dominant component of the macrofauna in estuaries and are important for assessing the health of these threatened ecosystems. Several studies have applied environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding to assess the biodiversity of fishes in estu...

Journal Article
Griffiths, N. P., Wright, R. M., Hänfling, B., Bolland, J. D., Drakou, K., Sellers, G. S., …Vasquez, M. I. (2023). Integrating environmental DNA monitoring to inform eel (Anguilla anguilla) status in freshwaters at their easternmost range—A case study in Cyprus. Ecology and Evolution, 13(2), Article e9800. https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.9800

Despite significant population declines and targeted European Union regulations aimed at Anguilla anguilla conservation, little attention has been given to their status at their easternmost range. This study applies wide-scale integrated monitoring t...

DNA metabarcoding reveals the dietary profiles of a benthic marine crustacean, Nephrops norvegicus (2023)
Journal Article
Shum, P., Wäge-Recchioni, J., Sellers, G. S., Johnson, M. L., & Joyce, D. A. (2023). DNA metabarcoding reveals the dietary profiles of a benthic marine crustacean, Nephrops norvegicus. PLoS ONE, 18(11 November), Article e0289221. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0289221

Norwegian lobster, Nephrops norvegicus, are a generalist scavenger and predator capable of short foraging excursions but can also suspension feed. Existing knowledge about their diet relies on a combination of methods including morphology-based stoma...
