Remobilisation of fine sediment from chalk stream gravel beds under flushing flows: A flume experiment

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 3, March 2026.
Through progressive flume experiments, this study demonstrated that increased bed shear stresses corresponded with increased cohesive fine sediment (<62‐μm) remobilisation depths from a representative chalk stream gravel bed. This represents some of the first scientifically robust data, which can direct revised and targeted fine sediment management in ...

Extending sampling approaches for great crested newt (Triturus cristatus) eDNA monitoring

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 4, October–December 2025.
Environmental DNA (eDNA) monitoring has been used for great crested newt (Triturus cristatus) survey in the UK since the publication of a Defra‐funded trial in 2014 and approval of a regulated protocol. Our study provides evidence that changes to this protocol, including use of filtration for eDNA capture and permitting eDNA surveys in July and August,

Design and Validation of a Single‐Species Environmental DNA qPCR Assay for the Detection of the Invasive Chinese Mitten Crab Eriocheir sinensis

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 5, September–October 2025.
The Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) is considered amongst the most damaging invasive species globally; however, the UK distribution of the species is not well known, with current management protocols reliant on reports of individual sightings. In this study, the first probe‐based, species‐specific qPCR assay was developed for the detection of ...
