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...

Targeted and passive environmental DNA approaches outperform established methods for detection of quagga mussels, Dreissena rostriformis bugensis in flowing water (2020)
Journal Article
Blackman, R. C., Ling, K. K. S., Harper, L. R., Shum, P., Hänfling, B., & Lawson-Handley, L. (2020). Targeted and passive environmental DNA approaches outperform established methods for detection of quagga mussels, Dreissena rostriformis bugensis in flowing water. Ecology and Evolution, https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.6921

The early detection of invasive non-native species (INNS) is important for informing management actions. Established monitoring methods require the collection or observation of specimens, which is unlikely at the beginning of an invasion when densiti...
