Journal ArticleDOI
Monitoring endangered freshwater biodiversity using environmental DNA
Philip Francis Thomsen,Jos Kielgast,Lars Iversen,Carsten Wiuf,Morten Rasmussen,M. Thomas P. Gilbert,Ludovic Orlando,Eske Willerslev +7 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that entire faunas of amphibians and fish can be detected by high-throughput sequencing of DNA extracted from pond water, underpin the ubiquitous nature of DNA traces in the environment and establish environmental DNA as a tool for monitoring rare and threatened species across a wide range of taxonomic groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of a diverse marine fish fauna using environmental DNA from seawater samples.
Philip Francis Thomsen,Jos Kielgast,Lars Iversen,Peter Rask Møller,Morten Rasmussen,Eske Willerslev +5 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that even small samples of seawater contain eDNA from a wide range of local fish species, which indicates the potential of using metabarcoding of environmental DNA (eDNA) obtained directly from seawater samples to account for marine fish biodiversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigating the Potential Use of Environmental DNA (eDNA) for Genetic Monitoring of Marine Mammals
Andrew D. Foote,Philip Francis Thomsen,Signe Sveegaard,Magnus Wahlberg,Jos Kielgast,Line A. Kyhn,Andreas Salling,Anders Galatius,Ludovic Orlando,M. Thomas P. Gilbert +9 more
TL;DR: To determine the potential use of eDNA for genetic monitoring, specific primers that amplify short mitochondrial DNA sequences were used to detect the presence of a marine mammal, the harbor porpoise, in a controlled environment and in natural marine locations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interacting Symbionts and Immunity in the Amphibian Skin Mucosome Predict Disease Risk and Probiotic Effectiveness
Douglas C. Woodhams,Hannelore Brandt,Simone Baumgartner,Jos Kielgast,Eliane Küpfer,Ursina Tobler,Leyla Alexandra Davis,Benedikt R. Schmidt,Christian Bel,Sandro Hodel,Rob Knight,Valerie J. McKenzie +11 more
TL;DR: It is found that antifungal function of the amphibian skin mucosome predicts the prevalence of infection with the fungal pathogen in natural populations, and is linked to survival in laboratory exposure experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global Amphibian Extinction Risk Assessment for the Panzootic Chytrid Fungus
Dennis Rödder,Jos Kielgast,Jon Bielby,Sebastian Schmidtlein,Jaime Bosch,Trenton W. J. Garner,Michael Veith,Susan F. Walker,Matthew C. Fisher,Stefan Lötters +9 more
TL;DR: A procedure for identifying amphibian species that are most at risk from the effects of chytridiomycosis by combining spatial analyses of key host life-history variables with the pathogen's predicted distribution is developed.
