Environmental (e) DNA, as a general approach in aquatic systems, seeks to connect the
presence of species' genetic material in the water and hence to infer the species' physical …

Genetic identification of aqueous environmental DNA (eDNA) provides site occupancy
inferences for rare aquatic macrofauna that are often easier to obtain than direct …

The prevention of non-indigenous aquatic invasive species spreading into new areas is a
goal of many resource managers. New techniques have been developed to survey for …

Indirect, non-invasive detection of rare aquatic macrofauna using aqueous environmental
DNA (eDNA) is a relatively new approach to population and biodiversity monitoring. As …

Bighead carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis) and silver carp (H. molitrix), collectively called
bigheaded carps, are cyprinids native mainly to China and have been introduced to over 70 …

Empirical assessments of the influence of invasive species on native species are infrequent
because the required long-term data are rarely available. The invasion of silver carp in the …

Many organisms must move among habitats to fulfill life history requirements. Fish
movements have been widely studied and tend to be either fine-scale (ie, routine) and …

In the 1970s, the introduced silver carp Hypophthalmichthys molitrix (which is indigenous to
eastern Asia) escaped from southern US aquaculture to spread throughout the Mississippi …

The edible silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) and bighead carp (H. nobilis), which
are two of the “Four Domesticated Fish” of China, are cultivated intensively worldwide. Here …

Abstract Knowledge of the spatial distributions and dispersal characteristics of invasive
species is necessary for managing the spread of highly mobile species, such as invasive …
