Evaluation of Rapid DNA Extraction Methods to Better Enable Point‐of‐Use Environmental DNA Detection
We investigated the most effective rapid DNA extraction methods for use in point‐of‐use eDNA detection. We found that two extraction solutions with short heating steps led to highest yield of eDNA from filters with spiked grass carp gill cells. ABSTRACT Recent developments in molecular testing have created the opportunity for biologists and managers to

To What Extent Can Life History Strategies Inform Reptile Conservation Planning?
Conservation planners must effectively target interventions to reduce the extinction risk of species. If we can use a species' life history strategies to predict their responses to interventions, this offers a promising approach to better understand species extinction risks and conservation potential.

A Microfluidic Platform for Precision Small-volume Sample Processing and Its Use to Size Separate Biological Particles with an Acoustic Microdevice. [PDF]
A major advantage of microfluidic devices is the ability to manipulate small sample volumes, thus reducing reagent waste and preserving precious sample. However, to achieve robust sample manipulation it is necessary to address device integration with the
