Environmental DNA (eDNA) holds great promise for conservation applications like the monitoring of invasive or imperiled species, yet this emerging technique requires ongoing testing in order to determine contexts over which it is effective. For example, little research date has evaluated how seasonality organism behavior activity may influence detection probability eDNA. We applied eDNA survey two highly species endemic upper Black Warrior River basin Alabama, US: Waterdog (Necturus...

The Orinoco Andes and northwestern Guiana Shield (Essequibo, Orinoco, Branco, upper Negro) were found to contain 11 species of Ancistrus, six which are new. We additionally examine A. brevifilis from the Río Tuy Venezuela trinitatis island Trinidad. in region can be broken up into dorsoventrally flattened (A. leoni new species, lithurgicus, macropthalmus), white yellow-dotted kellerae nudiceps, patronus species), wide-jawed amaris yutajae white-spotted brevifilis, leucostictus, trinitatis,...

Modern zoos and aquariums aspire to contribute significantly biodiversity conservation research. For example, research is a key accreditation criterion of the Association Zoos Aquariums (AZA). However, no studies date have quantified this contribution. We assessed productivity 228 AZA members using scientific publications indexed in ISI Web Science (WoS) database between 1993 2013 (inclusive). published 5175 peer-reviewed manuscripts over period, with publication output increasing time.

The Guiana Shield in northeastern South America contains some of the largest tracts intact forests on globe. Guyana alone has more than 80% forest cover. In south-central a unique biogeographic feature allows for hydrological connection between with Amazon basin via Rupununi savannas and wetlands (Rupununi Portal). This corridor connectivity two most biodiverse, carbon rich world. significance this (and other) corridors terrestrial aquatic species are underappreciated scientific literature....

Guyana, located in northern South America north of Brazil between Venezuela and Suriname, includes portions the Orinoco, Amazon, Courantyne river basins, a majority Essequibo River Basin, all Berbice Demerara basins. Partly as consequence historical contemporary drainage complexity, Guyana has remarkably diverse freshwater fish fauna. Here, we compile first comprehensive list Guyana's fishes, totaling some 657 species-level taxa (97 records, 117 endemics at least three introduced species),...

The application of environmental DNA (eDNA) methods to simultaneously study vertebrate diversity holds promise accelerate conservation efforts, especially in freshwater systems which are among the most imperiled world. Here, using eDNA sampling, we identify patterns biodiversity across different habitats Kankakee River watershed, one diverse lotic Illinois, USA. Our metabarcoding analyses identified 147 taxa, including 77 fishes, 38 birds, 24 mammals, five amphibians and three reptiles at 11...
