Multi‐species occupancy modeling reveals methodological and environmental effects on eDNA detection of amphibians in temporary ponds

Environmental DNA, Volume 5, Issue 4, Page 796-811, July 2023., 2023
In this study we evaluated how filter type (standard disc filters vs high‐capacity capsules), number of samples taken, volume of water filtered and environmental factors affected amphibian detection in Mediterranean temporary ponds. Discs filtered relatively small volumes, with detection probabilities of the two most abundant species increasing rapidly

Effects of chemical warfare agent decontaminants on trace survival: Impact on fingermarks deposited on glass

Journal of Forensic Sciences, Volume 67, Issue 6, Page 2267-2277, November 2022., 2022
Abstract Following a chemical incident involving chemical warfare agents or more broadly, chemical weapons, there are two possible approaches in dealing with the traditional forensic analysis of contaminated exhibits. The first is to analyze the contaminated items under safe conditions (i.e. in laboratories dedicated to the handling of such substances),

The role of melanin in Aspergillus tolerance to biocides and photosensitizers

Letters in Applied Microbiology, Volume 72, Issue 4, Page 375-381, April 2021., 2021
Significance and Impact of the Study:Cationic photosensitizers such as toluidine blue O (TBO) are being investigated as low‐cost and non‐toxic alternatives to traditional biocides. Compared to bacteria, studies addressing their fungicidal properties are sparse.
