Animal detection through DNA present in environmental samples (eDNA) is a valuable tool
for detecting rare species, that are difficult to observe and monitor. eDNA-based tools are …

Molecular techniques using DNA retrieved from community or environmental samples, in
particular environmental DNA (eDNA), are becoming increasingly popular for detecting …

In conservation science, observation-based methods are generally applied to wildlife
monitoring. While useful, such approaches are often restricted to well-characterized and …

Leeches play important roles in food webs due to their abundance, diversity and feeding
habits. Studies using invertebrate‐derived DNA (iDNA) extracted from leech gut contents to …

Phylogeography is an integrative field of science linking micro‐and macro‐evolutionary
processes, contributing to the inference of vicariance, dispersal, speciation, and other …

Facing rapid environmental changes and anthropogenic habitat destruction, animal
behavioural plasticity becomes an adaptive potential that needs to be considered in …

Biodiversity assessments are indispensable tools for planning and monitoring conservation
strategies. Camera traps (CT) are widely used to monitor wildlife and have proven their …

The metabarcoding of vertebrate DNA found in invertebrate‐derived DNA (iDNA) has
proven a powerful tool for monitoring biodiversity. To date, iDNA has primarily been used to …

Sampling genetic material from rare and often secretive mammals can be difficult in
