DNA barcoding reveals an increased diversity within the genus Culex (Diptera: Culicidae) in Ireland

T. G. Curran, A. O'Hanlon, F. Gallagher, R. S. Pedersen, A. Zintl, E. Isiye, A. V. Olmeda, D. O'Neill, A. McDevitt, C. O'Reilly, D. B. O'Meara

This study uses DNA barcoding to reveal increased diversity in Irish Culex mosquitoes, identifying two potential new species/ecotypes and highlighting the need for additional primers to differentiate species within the Culex pipiens complex.

Invasive genetic rescue: Dispersal following repeated culling reinforces the genetic diversity of an invasive mammal

R. Synnott, C. Shuttleworth, D. Everest, C. Stevenson-Holt, C. O'Reilly, A. D. McDevitt, D. B. O'Meara

This study assesses the impact of repeated culling on genetic diversity of grey squirrels in north Wales and finds high genetic diversity persists despite culling efforts.

Primer biases in the molecular assessment of diet in multiple insectivorous mammals

S. S. Browett, T. G. Curran, D. B. O'Meara, A. P. Harrington, N. G. Sales, R. E. Antwis, D. O'Neill, A. McDevitt

This study compares the effectiveness of two primer sets in DNA metabarcoding to assess diets of insectivorous mammals, finding that a single broad-range primer set can accurately capture ground-dwelling species' diets.
