New Australian frontier in freshwater fish invasion via Torres Strait Islands Open
All continents, excluding Antarctica and the Artic, have been affected by incursion from alien freshwater fish species. Australia has not been spared. Four hundred and fifty species have now been declared on the ornamental importation list…

Invasive terrestrial invertebrate detection in water and soil using a targeted eDNA approach Open
Terrestrial invasive invertebrates can rapidly colonise new areas, causing detrimental effects on biodiversity, economy and lifestyle. Targeted environmental DNA (eDNA) methods could constitute an early detection tool given their sensitivi…

Practical eDNA sampling methods inferred from particle size distribution and comparison of capture techniques for a Critically Endangered elasmobranch Open
Environmental DNA (eDNA) methods are increasingly applied in the marine environment to identify species and community structure. To establish widely applicable eDNA techniques for elasmobranchs, we used the Critically Endangered largetooth…

Additional file 1 of Environmental DNA analysis confirms extant populations of the cryptic Irwin’s turtle within its historical range Open
Additional file 1. Environmental DNA analysis information, including Δ Ct vales from qPCR internal positive controls (IPCs) (Table S1), as well as eDNA detection (Table S3) and survey data (Table S4) for occupancy models and models results…

Long distance (>20 km) downstream detection of endangered stream frogs suggests an important role for eDNA in surveying for remnant amphibian populations Open
Background Globally, amphibian species have suffered drastic population declines over the past 40 years. Hundreds of species are now listed as Critically Endangered, with many of these considered “possibly extinct”. Most of these species a…

Priority species to support the functional integrity of coral reefs Open
Ecosystem-based management on coral reefs has historically focussed on biodiversity conservation through the establishment of marine reserves, but it is increasingly recognised that a subset of species can be key to the maintenance of ecos…

Got Glycogen?: Development and Multispecies Validation of the Novel Preserve, Precipitate, Lyse, Precipitate, Purify (PPLPP) Workflow for Environmental DNA Extraction from Longmire’s Preserved Water Samples Open
Unfiltered and filtered water samples can be used to collect environmental DNA (eDNA). We developed the novel "Preserve, Precipitate, Lyse, Precipitate, Purify" (PPLPP) workflow to efficiently extract eDNA from Longmire's preserved unfilte…

Can environmental DNA be used to detect first arrivals of the cane toad, <i>Rhinella marina</i>, into novel locations? Open
Eradicating invasive species is difficult, but success is more likely when populations are small after arrival. The cane toad, Rhinella marina , is an invasive pest species that threatens native fauna worldwide. Increasingly, environmental…

Symposium report: Great Barrier Reef restoration symposium, 2018 Open
The Great Barrier Reef (GBR), located off the coast of Queensland, Australia, is a UNESCO1 World Heritage site, one of the seven natural wonders of the world and the world's largest living structure. Spanning 2300 km, it has more than 450 …

Lost Floodplain Wetland Environments and Efforts to Restore Connectivity, Habitat, and Water Quality Settings on the Great Barrier Reef Open
Managers are moving toward implementing large-scale coastal ecosystem restoration projects, however, many fail to achieve desired outcomes. Among the key reasons for this is the lack of integration with a whole-of-catchment approach, the s…

Symposium report: Inaugural Australian Coastal Restoration Symposium Open
Summary Globally, coastal habitat restoration is growing in recognition as a viable management tool to repair and reinstate valuable coastal habitats and species, such as mangrove and macroalgae forests, salt marshes, seagrass meadows, she…
