Journal Article
Wilson, J., Sing, K., Chen, P., & Zieritz, A. (2018). Tracking the southern river terrapin (Batagur affinis) through environmental DNA: prospects and challenges. Mitochondrial DNA Part A, 29(6), 862-866. https://doi.org/10.1080/24701394.2017.1373109

Environmental DNA detection has emerged as a powerful tool to monitor aquatic species without the need for capture or visual identification and is particularly useful for rare or elusive species. Our objective was to develop an eDNA approach for dete... Read More about Tracking the southern river terrapin (Batagur affinis) through environmental DNA: prospects and challenges.

Lifting the curtain on the freshwater mussel diversity of the Italian Peninsula and Croatian Adriatic coast (2017)
Journal Article
Froufe, E., Lopes-Lima, M., Riccardi, N., Zaccara, S., Vanetti, I., Lajtner, J., …Bogan, A. E. (2017). Lifting the curtain on the freshwater mussel diversity of the Italian Peninsula and Croatian Adriatic coast. Biodiversity and Conservation, 26(14), 3255-3274. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10531-017-1403-z

Freshwater mussels of the order Unionida have been dramatically declining globally. Despite their ecological importance, conservation of these animals has been hindered by unresolved taxonomy and a lack of data on the distribution and status of popul...

A preliminary checklist of the freshwater snails of Sabah (Malaysian Borneo) deposited in the BORNEENSIS collection, Universiti Malaysia Sabah (2017)
Journal Article
Ng, T. H., Dulipat, J., Foon, J. K., Lopes-Lima, M., Zieritz, A., & Liew, T. (2017). A preliminary checklist of the freshwater snails of Sabah (Malaysian Borneo) deposited in the BORNEENSIS collection, Universiti Malaysia Sabah. ZooKeys, 673, 105-123. https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.673.12544

Sabah, a Malaysian state at the north-eastern tip of Borneo, is situated in one of the Earth’s biodiversity hotspots yet its freshwater gastropod diversity remains poorly known. An annotated checklist of the freshwater gastropods is presented, based...

The first Margaritiferidae male (M-type) mitogenome: mitochondrial gene order as a potential character for determining higher-order phylogeny within Unionida (Bivalvia). Journal of Molluscan Studies, 83(2), 249-252. https://doi.org/10.1093/mollus/eyx009

The unionid family Margaritiferidae, comprising 12 extant species, is widely distributed across the northern hemisphere in North America, Europe and Asia (Bolotov et al., 2016). Most species in this family have dramatically declined over the last cen...
