Invasive non‐native species are now considered to be one of the greatest threats to biodiversity
worldwide. Therefore, efficient and cost‐effective management of species invasions …

A non-invasive approach was used to investigate variation in pine marten (Martes martes)
abundance between the midlands and east of Ireland, and to determine the frequency of …

Our understanding of trophic interactions of small insectivorous mammals has been drastically
improved with the advent of DNA metabarcoding. The technique has continued to be …

Interactions between hosts and their resident microbial communities are a fundamental
component of fitness for both agents. Though recent research has highlighted the importance of …

DNA identification of mammal species occurring in the diet of a predator is potentially a
useful approach to remotely monitor the distribution of multiple species. This is important in …

The present study examined the contemporary genetic composition of the Eurasian badger,
Meles meles, in Ireland, Britain and Western Europe, using six nuclear microsatellite loci …

Invasive mammals are responsible for the majority of native species extinctions on islands.
While most of these extinction events will be due to novel interactions between species (eg …

The population genetic structure of free‐ranging species is expected to reflect landscape‐level
effects. Quantifying the role of these factors and their relative contribution often has …

Developing strategies to maintain biodiversity requires baseline information on the current
status of each individual species. The development of genetic techniques and their …

Arthropod populations are constantly changing due to changes in climate and the
globalisation of trade and travel. Effective and diverse monitoring techniques are required to …
