Environmental DNA as a tool for hydropower impact assessments: current status, special considerations, and future integration

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Globally there is an urgent need to find sustainable solutions to balance energy production with the protection of vulnerable species and conservation of biodiversity. This is particularly critical for freshwater ecosystems, habitats, and species that may be impacted by hydropower development and operations needed to meet energy grid demands ...

Using miniaturized laboratory equipment and DNA barcoding to improve conservation genetics training and identify illegally traded species

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Illegal wildlife trade (IWT) is one of the largest global illegal activities, and it negatively affects biodiversity and sustainable development worldwide. DNA barcoding coupled with high‐throughput sequencing (i.e., metabarcoding) is useful in identifying taxa affected by IWT and has been used routinely for decades.

Environmental DNA for invasive rat surveillance and biosecurity on islands

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
We collected aquatic eDNA samples from beach and lake sites on three atoll islands with different invasion statuses before and after a rat eradication operation. Two dozen eDNA samples can confirm with ≥95% probability the presence of invasive rats prior to any management intervention. However, following the eradication operation, neither targeted eDNA

Trends in novel opioid use and detections in exposures and police drug seizures in New South Wales

open access: yesDrug and Alcohol Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Novel opioids, including non‐medical and non‐opium‐based opioids such as fentanyl analogues and nitazenes, pose a significant risk of harm due to their high potency. There is little published data on novel opioid detections and harms in Australia, yet they are implicated in multiple deaths.

A Scoping Review of the Emergence of Novel Synthetic Opioids in Australian Drug Markets: What Does This Mean for Harm Reduction Responses?

open access: yesDrug and Alcohol Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Issues Rising synthetic opioid deaths in North America, and the emergence of nitazene harms has driven concern about novel synthetic opioids (NSO) in Australia. This scoping review aimed to map what is known about NSOs in Australia. Approach Scoping review of peer‐reviewed and grey literature on NSO detections and harms.
