Journal ArticleDOI
Detecting an elusive invasive species: a diagnostic PCR to detect Burmese python in Florida waters and an assessment of persistence of environmental DNA
Antoinette J. Piaggio,Richard M. Engeman,Matthew W. Hopken,John S. Humphrey,Kandy L. Keacher,William E. Bruce,Michael L. Avery +6 more
TL;DR: This study shows P. bivittatus eDNA can be isolated from water samples; thus, this method is a new and promising technique for the management of invasive reptiles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reporting the limits of detection and quantification for environmental DNA assays

TL;DR: In this article, the USGS's Ecosystems Mission Area, Invasive Species Program, intramural research program of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, Wildlife Services, National Wildlife Research Center and an Ignite Grant #IGN07171717 from Innovate BC.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is It Time for Synthetic Biodiversity Conservation
Antoinette J. Piaggio,Gernot Segelbacher,Philip J. Seddon,Luke Alphey,Luke Alphey,Elizabeth L. Bennett,Robert Carlson,Robert Friedman,Dona Kanavy,Ryan Phelan,Kent H. Redford,Marina Rosales,Lydia Slobodian,Keith A. Wheeler +13 more
TL;DR: It is argued that rapid, large-scale engagement by the conservation community with practitioners of synthetic biology is urgently needed to avoid unintended and deleterious ecological consequences.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular phylogeny of the chipmunks inferred from Mitochondrial cytochrome b and cytochrome oxidase II gene sequences.
TL;DR: The complete mitochondrial cytochrome b (cyt b) gene of 23 Tamias species is sequenced and the possibility of a current sorting event among taxa of the southwestern United States and the extreme divergences among the three subgenera are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
