Environmental DNA (eDNA) monitoring of priority conservation fish species in UK lentic ecosystems (2020)
Thesis
Di Muri, C. (2020). Environmental DNA (eDNA) monitoring of priority conservation fish species in UK lentic ecosystems. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4223124

Freshwater environments cover only a tiny fraction of the planet’s surface, yet they are biodiversity hotspots and support almost half of the global fish diversity, including globally and locally endangered species. In the UK, three species of nation... Read More about Environmental DNA (eDNA) monitoring of priority conservation fish species in UK lentic ecosystems.

Diet and distribution of the Eurasian otter, Lutra lutra and American mink, Neovison vison on the River Hull (2020)

Conflict between the invasive American mink Neovison vision, and native Eurasian otter Lutra lutra has been identified in several studies, however many questions remain surrounding factors contributing to possible co-existence. Furthermore, each spec... Read More about Diet and distribution of the Eurasian otter, Lutra lutra and American mink, Neovison vison on the River Hull.

Untangling molecular food webs of non-native invertebrates and their communities (2020)
Thesis
Benucci, M. (2020). Untangling molecular food webs of non-native invertebrates and their communities. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4222622

Invasive non-native species (INNS) are one of the main drivers of biodiversity loss globally, however to what extent INNS predators modify and utilise the invaded communities is still debated. This is particularly the case for arthropod INNS whose tr... Read More about Untangling molecular food webs of non-native invertebrates and their communities.

Development of an environmental DNA method for monitoring freshwater fish communities using metabarcoding (2019)
Thesis
Li, J. (2019). Development of an environmental DNA method for monitoring freshwater fish communities using metabarcoding. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4221572

Monitoring current global biodiversity decline is essential to maintain ecosystem functioning, especially freshwater ecosystems. However, the conventional physical, acoustic and visual-based methods for monitoring biodiversity have some limitations s...

Rapid biodiversity monitoring of freshwater ponds using environmental DNA : traversing the aquatic-terrestrial boundary in pondscapes (2018)
Thesis
Harper, L. R. (2018). Rapid biodiversity monitoring of freshwater ponds using environmental DNA : traversing the aquatic-terrestrial boundary in pondscapes. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4221591

Environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis is transforming biodiversity monitoring in aquatic ecosystems with immense potential to inform their conservation and management. eDNA analysis is rapid, non-invasive, cost-efficient, and often more accurate and sens...

Biological invasions can have dramatic detrimental impacts on ecosystems, however they also represent rich opportunities to study the evolutionary processes associated with them. Hybridisation and subsequent introgression are two such processes and a...

The genetics and evolutionary dynamics of sexual system evolution in tadpole shrimps (2013)
Thesis
Mathers, T. C. (2013). The genetics and evolutionary dynamics of sexual system evolution in tadpole shrimps. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4216243

Sexual reproduction is found throughout the eukaryote tree of life and fundamentally affects the organisms that practice it. In particular, the sexual system of an organism can influence genetic diversity, population structure, genome structure, the...
