Biodiversity Assessments
Environmental DNA
Looking for a biodiversity survey or wildlife monitoring solution? Our environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding assessments are ideal for when efficient, broad scale biodiversity mapping and monitoring is required.
By utilising next generation sequencing technology and comprehensive DNA reference libraries, we can undertake biodiversity assessments to identify all species that have left their DNA in an environmental sample. Our dedicated team are industry leaders in this approach, and work with you during the key stages of eDNA biodiversity assessments:
- Environmental sampling (e.g. water, soil or scat)
- Amplify all the DNA sequences from the environmental sample
- Match them to EnviroDNA's comprehensive reference database (to get your eDNA detection results!)
- We offer expertise in assessing these results and can report on them as required
EnviroDNA has worked with clients to detect species in a range of taxonomic groups outlined below
Assay can detect both native and invasive amphibians within Australia.
Assay can detect vertebrate species (e.g. mammals, birds, fish, amphibians, and reptiles)
Assay can detect fish species from freshwater, estuarine and marine environments.
Assay can detect decapod crustaceans in freshwater environments (e.g. crayfish, shrimps) but will also detect marine crustaceans (e.g. lobster, prawns, crabs).
We are excited to now be undertaking some invertebrates or macroinvertebrates projects. Contact us if you are interested in eDNA testing.
