Jeffries, D., Handley, L. L., Lamatsch, D., Olsen, H., Sayer, C., & Haenfling, B. (online). Towards the conservation of the crucian carp in Europe: Prolific hybridization but no evidence for introgression between native and non-native species. Molecular ecology, Article e17515. https://doi.org/10.1111/mec.17515

Hybridization plays a pivotal role in evolution, influencing local adaptation and speciation. However, it can also reduce biodiversity, which is especially damaging when native and non-native species meet. Hybridization can threaten native species vi...

Metabarcoding and Metagenomics, 8, 121–143. https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.8.104655

Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is transforming biodiversity monitoring in aquatic environments. Such an approach has been developed and deployed for monitoring lake fish communities in Great Britain, where the method has repeatedly shown a co...

Environmental DNA reveals ecologically relevant spatial and temporal variation in fish assemblages between estuaries and seasons (2024)
Journal Article
Gibson, T. I., Baillie, C., Collins, R. A., Wangensteen, O. S., Corrigan, L., Ellison, A., Heddell-Cowie, M., Westoby, H., Byatt, B., Lawson-Handley, L., Z. Soto, A., Creer, S., Genner, M. J., & Mariani, S. (2024). Environmental DNA reveals ecologically relevant spatial and temporal variation in fish assemblages between estuaries and seasons. Ecological Indicators, 165, Article 112215. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolind.2024.112215

Estuarine ecosystems are threatened by numerous anthropogenic pressures. Fish assemblages are a dominant component of estuarine macrofauna and serve as indicators for the health of these transitional water ecosystems. Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabar...

An integrated spatio-temporal view of riverine biodiversity using environmental DNA metabarcoding (2024)
Journal Article
Perry, W., Seymour, M., Orsini, L., Jâms, I. B., Milner, N., Edwards, F., …Creer, S. (2024). An integrated spatio-temporal view of riverine biodiversity using environmental DNA metabarcoding. Nature communications, 15(1), Article 4372. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-024-48640-3

Anthropogenically forced changes in global freshwater biodiversity demand more efficient monitoring approaches. Consequently, environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis is enabling ecosystem-scale biodiversity assessment, yet the appropriate spatio-temporal r...
