Abstract: <p>Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding targets sequences with interspecific</p><p>variation that can be amplified using universal primers allowing simultaneous detection</p><p>of multiple species from environmental samples. I developed novel primers for three</p><p>barcodes commonly used to identify plant species, and compared amplification success… more

Abstract: <p>According to the Invasional Meltdown Hypothesis (IMH), invasive species may interact in their introduced range and facilitate future invasions. This study investigated the possibility that Alliaria petiolata, an invasive allelopathic herbaceous plant in Ontario, is facilitating invasions by additional alien species. Two allelopathic focal species were chosen for this study: the native… more
