Using DNA metabarcoding to investigate diet and niche partitioning in the native European otter (Lutra lutra) and invasive American mink (Neovison vison)

L. R. Harper, H. V. Watson, R. Donnelly, R. Hampshire, C. D. Sayer, T. Breithaupt, B. Hänfling

This study uses DNA metabarcoding to compare the diets and niche partitioning of European otters and American mink in the UK, finding low niche overlap and differences in prey diversity and composition.

Assessing the impact of the threatened crucian carp (Carassius carassius) on pond invertebrate diversity - a comparison of conventional and molecular tools

L. R. Harper, L. Lawson Handley, C. D. Sayer, D. S. Read, M. Benucci, R. C. Blackman, M. J. Hill, B. Hänfling

The paper compares conventional and molecular methods for assessing invertebrate diversity in ponds with and without crucian carp, finding that molecular tools provide more accurate and comprehensive data.

\"Ghost ponds\" - How to resurrect in-filled farmland ponds to assist aquatic biodiversity conservation in agricultural landscapes

E. Alderton, C. D. Sayer, J. C. Axmacher, I. R. Patmore, H. Burningham, P. Brown, G. Nobes

This study demonstrates that resurrecting filled-in agricultural ponds (ghost ponds) can rapidly restore aquatic biodiversity, achieving comparable species diversity to newly restored ponds within a year.
