Mapping differences in mammalian distributions and diversity using environmental DNA from rivers

H. A. Broadhurst, L. M. Gregory, E. K. Bleakley, J. C. Perkins, J. V. Lavin, P. Bolton, S. S. Browett, C. V. Howe, N. Singleton, D. Tansley, N. G. Sales, A. McDevitt

This study uses eDNA metabarcoding to map mammalian diversity and distribution in rivers, finding that sampling effort varies by species and that community structure differs between rivers.

Primer biases in the molecular assessment of diet in multiple insectivorous mammals

S. S. Browett, T. G. Curran, D. B. O'Meara, A. P. Harrington, N. G. Sales, R. E. Antwis, D. O'Neill, A. McDevitt

This study compares the effectiveness of two primer sets in DNA metabarcoding to assess diets of insectivorous mammals, finding that a single broad-range primer set can accurately capture ground-dwelling species' diets.

eDNA in a bottleneck: obstacles to fish metabarcoding studies in megadiverse freshwater systems

J. M. Jackman, C. Benvenuto, I. Coscia, C. O. Carvalho, J. S. Ready, J. P. Boubli, W. E. Magnusson, A. McDevitt, N. G. Sales

This study evaluates the taxonomic resolution of eDNA metabarcoding for fish biodiversity in the Neotropics, finding poor species recovery and suggesting the need for improved methods.
