Invasive species pose major threats to Australian biodiversity, agriculture, and lifestyle, and early detection is critical to limit their spread.
Environmental DNA (eDNA) can fast-track detection by using the genetic traces that invasive species leave behind – enabling a rapid biosecurity response.
Join us to hear about our latest eDNA monitoring, analytical techniques, and projects informing biosecurity action from Dr Cecilia Villacorta-Rath (TropWATER), Professor Mark Kennard (Griffith University), Hayden Ferguson (QLD DPI), and Professor Damien Burrows (TropWATER). This webinar is hosted in partnership with the National Environmental Science Program Resilient Landscapes Hub.
