5. Shining a LAMP on the applications of isothermal amplification for monitoring environmental biosecurity

Abstract

Environmental biosecurity risks associated with the transnational wildlife trade include the loss of biodiversity, threats to public health, and the proliferation of invasive alien species. To assist enforcement agencies in identifying species either intentionally (trafficked) or unintentionally (stowaway) entrained in the trade-chain pathway, rapid forensic techniques are needed to enable their detection from DNA samples when physical identification is not possible. Loop Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) is an emerging technique, with recent applications in biosecurity and forensic sciences, which has potential to function as a field-based detection tool. Here we provide an overview of current research that applies LAMP to environmental biosecurity, including identification of ornamental wildlife parts, consumer products, and invasive species monitoring and biosecurity detection. We discuss the current scope of LAMP as applied to various wildlife trade scenarios and biosecurity checkpoint monitoring, highlight the specificity, sensitivity, and robustness for these applications, and review the potential utility of LAMP for rapid field-based detection at biosecurity checkpoints. Based on our assessment of the literature we recommend broader interest, research uptake, and investment in LAMP as an appropriate field-based species detection method for a wide range of environmental biosecurity scenarios.

6. Shining a LAMP on the applications of isothermal amplification to monitoring illegal wildlife trade

Abstract

Environmental biosecurity risks associated with the Illegal Wildlife Trade (IWT) include the loss of biodiversity, threats to public health, and the proliferation of invasive alien species. To assist enforcement agencies in identifying trafficked species, rapid forensic techniques enable the detection of trace Environmental DNA (eDNA) where physical identification is not possible. Loop Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) is an emerging technique with recent applications in biosecurity and forensic sciences, and with potential to function as a field-based detection tool. Here we provide an overview of current research that applies LAMP to human and wildlife forensic science, including identification of ornamental wildlife parts, consumer products, and invasive species monitoring and biosecurity detection. We discuss the current scope of LAMP as applied to various wildlife crime scenarios and biosecurity checkpoint monitoring, highlight the specificity, sensitivity, and robustness for these applications, and review the potential utility of LAMP for rapid field-based detection within the IWT. Based on our assessment of the literature we recommend broader interest, research, and investment in LAMP as an appropriate field-based species detection method for a wide range of environmental biosecurity scenarios.

Abstract

One feature of global geographic variation in avian body sizes is that they are larger on isolated islands than on continental regions. Therefore, this study aims to assess whether there have been changes in body size following successful establishment for seven passerine bird species (blackbird Turdus merula, song thrush T. philomelos, house sparrow Passer domesticus, chaffinch Fringilla coelebs, greenfinch Chloris chloris, goldfinch Carduelis carduelis, yellowhammer Emberiza citrinella) introduced from the continental islands of the UK to the more isolated oceanic landmass of New Zealand in the middle of the nineteenth century. Measures of tarsus length were taken from individuals from contemporary UK and New Zealand populations of these species, and from historical specimens collected around the time that individuals were translocated from the UK to New Zealand. Analysis of Variance was used to test for size differences between contemporary UK and New Zealand populations, and between historical UK and contemporary UK and New Zealand populations. Historical UK populations have longer tarsi, on average, than 12 (7 UK and 5 New Zealand) of the 14 contemporary populations. Significant decreases in tarsus length relative to the historical populations have occurred in the UK for blackbird, chaffinch and greenfinch, and in the New Zealand blackbird population. Contemporary New Zealand house sparrows have significantly longer tarsi, on average, than both historical and contemporary UK populations. Exposure to novel environments may be expected to lead to changes in the morphology and other traits of exotic species, but changes have also occurred in the native range. In fact, contrary to expectations, the most common differences we found were between contemporary and historical UK populations. Consideration of contemporary populations alone would underestimate the true scale of morphological change in these species over time, which may be due to phenotypic plasticity or genetic adaptation to environmental changes experienced by all populations in the last 150 years.

13. Exposing Australia's online trade in pest plants - we've found thousands of illegal advertisements.

Abstract

Trade of ornamental plants, which are the kinds popularly grown in homes and gardens, is the major current pathway enabling invasion and spread of weeds into new areas. State and territory governments are adopting our automated surveillance approach to help regulate the online trade in plants and other wildlife. [Extracted from the article]

Abstract

À lire aussi: Invasive species are Australia's number-one extinction threat Hope in the face of increasing threats In 2019, IPBES released a global biodiversity assessment that placed invasive alien species in the top five drivers of biodiversity loss - alongside changing land- and sea-use, over-exploitation of natural resources, climate change, and pollution. The true damage of invasive alien species was just revealed in a landmark report. Globally, we observe around 200 new alien species every year, and many of these species (>10%) have negative impacts, including threats to native species, the health of natural vegetation, or the way ecosystems work.

Abstract

This included more than 60,000 separateadvertisements and a total of 1,192 species, including 81 threatenedspecies, 667 alien (non-native) species, and 279 species that are notallowed to be imported into Australia. New exposé of Australia's exotic pet trade shows an alarming proliferation of alien, threatened and illegal species The presence of undescribed species in Australia,mostly freshwater catfish and African cichlids, can only be explainedby illegal smuggling or the exploitation of trade loopholes.

Abstract

The article focuses on the study regarding the threats of the introduction of invasive animals in Australia. According to a study by Phill Cassey and Wendy Henderson, exotic pets and stowaway animals present high risks for the introduction of such animals. They also efforts are needed from biosecurity agencies and border authorities to address the emerging threats.
