New Group Proposal: Systems Builders & PACIM Designers

eDNA is a molecular conservation tech tool that can be used to detect species presence in samples taken directly from the environment. To date, eDNA has been used for species detection, biomass estimation, diet analysis, reconstruction of past flora and fauna, and wildlife disease detection. Still a relatively new area of conservation tech, eDNA is in a phase of rapid innovation and growth, with improved ease of use and more accessibility allowing this technology to find new uses in the field and lab.

Population genetics with eDNA

Using SNP markers with an Amphibian species, we were able to identify a total of 17,617 nuclear single nuclear polymorphisms shared across individual, pond eDNA (4 populations) and tank eDNA samples (where tadpoles of the four ponds were housed), enabling us to detect genetic structuring across sampling locations (previously demenstrated with microsatellites and tissue samples), consistent with individual-based estimates. Collecting only the matrix (here water) allows describing the existing population structure...that could be a nice progress for conservation biology...

Apis Nomadica Labs: Mobile Bee-Search for the Future of Food & Medicine

Human-wildlife coexistence is a significant challenge that only grows as habitats shrink and other issues like climate change alter the natural world. Technologies like biologging gear have become essential for proactively reducing human-wildlife conflict before it escalates, and tech projects that seek to understand population ranges and behaviour can help people learn to live with wildlife as part of our own environments. If you're interested in using technology to enhance human-wildlife coexistence, this group is the place for you!
