We present 125 eDNA quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assays against animal species of importance to North America. We show how these assays were designed and validated to comply with the Canadian national eDNA standards to allow confident eDNA detection for coastal and inland ecological surveys and biosurveillance.

Gaps and opportunities in on‐host winter tick (Dermacentor albipictus) surveillance in North America
The investigation and management of the impacts of winter tick infestations on moose in North America necessitates coordinated surveillance and intervention efforts. The current absence of searching for winter ticks on other potential ungulate hosts, largely based on historical beliefs of predilection from limited captive studies, has created a ...

With this study, detailed morphological, morphometric and 3D printing data of the roe deer os hyoideum were obtained for the first time and its similarities and differences with other animal species were compared. The os hyoideum consisted of six parts, but the processus lingualis, which is found in ruminants, was not present in the roe deer.

Local Extinction and Unintentional Rewilding of Bighorn Sheep (Ovis canadensis) on a Desert Island [PDF]
Bighorn sheep ( Ovis canadensis) were not known to live on Tiburón Island, the largest island in the Gulf of California and Mexico, prior to the surprisingly successful introduction of 20 individuals as a conservation measure in 1975.
