Join us for a 3-part webinar series that will cover topics including survey design, interpreting your data and using eDNA to survey on Country.
We are now on the other side of the much anticipated inaugural Australian and New Zealand eDNA Conference. So, what did we take away from this conference?
Melbourne Water is undertaking an extensive eDNA survey to monitor key biological values, including native fish, birds, frogs and platypuses.
NSW Department of Planning and Environment are using eDNA scat analysis to help safeguard the endangered long-footed potoroo.
Surveying for oysters often presents a variety of challenges for efficiently obtaining data. A new study uses eDNA to fill this knowledge gap based on a cost-effective approach that overcomes expensive and time-consuming survey techniques.
The results from the 2021 Great Australian Platypus Search have now been released, yet what exactly do they mean and how does this data help?
EnviroDNA announces an environmental accounting Method using eDNA to support regional-scale land management and facilitate positive environmental outcomes.
Learn how eDNA biodiversity data can correlate with riparian health to inform or measure restoration works.
Learn about eDNA and how it is quickly becoming an important tool for biodiversity monitoring in this free 3-part webinar series.

Update on the BMSB study with Cesar Australia, Plant & Food Research New Zealand and the Victorian Farmers Federation. This project is underway to combat the growing biosecurity concern posed by the BMSB, to Australia and New Zealand.
EnviroDNA has developed an interesting new probe, involving the team exploring DNA from one of Australia’s iconic and sadly lost creatures.
EnviroDNA is exploring new techniques to use eDNA sampling for the detection of terrestrial species.
Our Research Director, Dr. Andrew Weeks and Molecular scientist, Dr. Sue Song, have recently co-authored a collaborative scientific paper comparing eDNA metabarcoding methods against traditional electrofishing techniques.
The EnviroDNA team continues to grow and we are so excited. Introducing one of our newest team members.
A new study with cesar, Plant & Food Research New Zealand the Victorian Farmers Federation is underway to combat the growing biosecurity threat posed by the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug.
The EnviroDNA team is growing and we are so excited. Introducing one of our newest team members.
Our team is working closely with the Queensland Department of Environment and Science (DES) on a rescue mission to save the Queensland River Blackfish from near extinction.
Calling all environmental practitioners, ecologists, rangers, environmental managers, catchment managers from government, NRM organisations, environmental organisations and consultancies! If you need to detect and monitor wildlife and wonder if eDNA could help you then please do join our webinars to learn more.
Preserving eDNA once collected is critical, but it can pose some logistical challenges when working in the field. After testing a number of preservation methods we are now offering two options for our clients to store collected samples before shipping back to the lab.
Environmental DNA is a powerful new tool for detecting species, presenting an important opportunity for Australia’s biosecurity and invasive species management efforts. Read more about how it is being used in Australia with examples such as the Cane toad.
Our very own technical director Dr Andrew Weeks along with Dr Reid Tingley, Head of the Macroecology Research Group at Monash University and University of Melbourne PhD candidate Emily McColl-Gaudsen (lead author) have a new paper published! It's genetic technology explained for the non-geneticist.
Environmental DNA (eDNA) is an effective and affordable way to survey species and biodiversity. This report provides an introduction to eDNA: how it works, the science and why it is valuable.
Are you an environmental consultant interested to learn more about eDNA and how to use in your client projects? Here is a list of upcoming events/webinars for you!
Chances are, you have heard whispers about environmental DNA (eDNA). All organisms leave traces of DNA in the environment, which can now be extracted and identified.
It’s one thing to develop an exciting technology, it’s another to work out where a particular type of technology fits in industry.
In 2008 the first scientific paper came out about the concept of taking a water sample and isolating DNA.
You can’t manage species effectively if you don’t know where they are. Traditional observation-based survey methods serve an important role, but it can be a real challenge to use these methods to detect species in environments where they are not easily visible.
We believe in the value of contributing our research findings to the broader scientific community to help advance the eDNA field.
