Abstract: <p>Many emerging infectious diseases are caused by pathogens that possess free-living life stages, in which they interact with the environment directly rather than through the mediation of a host. These diseases represent major impediments to wildlife conservation; however, the dynamics of their interaction with the environment are poorly studied, often due to the difficulty of detecting… more

Name(s): Creator (cre): Breton, Brie-Anne, Thesis advisor (ths): Murray, Dennis, Degree committee member (dgc): Wilson, Chris, Degree committee member (dgc): Lesbarrères, David, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>Environmental DNA (eDNA) is rapidly becoming an established method for the detection of species in aquatic systems and has been suggested as a promising tool to estimate species abundance. However, the strength of the relationship between eDNA concentrations and taxon abundance (density/biomass) can vary widely between species. I investigated the relationship between eDNA concentration… more
