Paper based devices are an emerging trend for micro total analysis systems due to their rapid, sensitive and specific attributes. Lateral flow assays (LFAs), the predecessor of paper-fluidic devices, are developed for many applications which range from nucleic acid and antibody detection to commercial home pregnancy tests. With growing interest in replacing conventional detection methods, multistep assays are needed. These assays require multiple test reagents, therefore, there is a need to control fluid flow for the development of complex paper-based devices. We were able fabricate paper-fluidic platforms where we used electrowetting-on-dielectrics to create valves on paper. With this method, we …

Spatial capture–recapture (SCR) is a relatively recent development in ecological statistics that provides a spatial context for estimating abundance and space use patterns, and improves inference about absolute population density. SCR has been applied to individual encounter data collected noninvasively using methods such as camera traps, hair snares, and scat surveys. Despite the widespread use of capture based surveys to monitor amphibians and reptiles, there are few applications of SCR in the herpetological literature. We demonstrate the utility of the application of SCR for studies of reptiles and amphibians by analyzing capture–recapture data from Red-Backed Salamanders, Plethodon cinereus, collected using …
