Persistence of Environmental DNA in Freshwater Ecosystems [PDF]
International audienceThe precise knowledge of species distribution is a key step in conservation biology. However, species detection can be extremely difficult in many environments, specific life stages and in populations at very low density. The aim of

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.

Overwintering Behavior of Adult Bullfrogs, Rana catesbeiana, in Northeastern Ohio [PDF]
Author Institution: Department of Biology, The University of AkronMany species of ranid anurans overwinter in aquatic habitats such as streams, ponds, and lakes, but little is known about their behavior or location when submerged.

Abstract Creatures grown on the island are more susceptible to genetic vulnerabilities because of their isolated nature and often limited genetic diversity. Understanding the genetic structure of these populations is crucial for effective conservation strategies, especially for the species that are commonly found in aquaculture and may inhabit islands.

Abstract Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) is a globally distributed fungal pathogen of amphibians that has contributed to one of the largest disease‐related biodiversity losses in wildlife. Bd is regularly viewed through the lens of a global wildlife epizootic because the spread of highly virulent genetic lineages has resulted in well‐documented ...

Konservasi Amfibi Di Indonesia: Masalah Global Dan Tantangan1) (Conservation of Amphibian in Indonesia: Global Problems and Challenges) [PDF]
This paper reviews potential causes of amphibian population declines in Indonesia in relation to global amphibian declines. At least six factors were identified: over-harvesting, loss of forest and wetland habitats, pollution, disease, introduction of ...

A phylogeographic analysis of the North American medicinal leech, Macrobdella decora (Say, 1824)
Abstract In spite of their important roles in many ecosystems, data regarding population structure and biogeographic patterns of leeches are scarce. To begin to address this knowledge gap, we herein perform a phylogeographic analysis of the North American medicinal leech, Macrobdella decora (Say, 1824). A total of 224 M. decora specimens were collected
