eDNA technology revolutionises invasive species biosecurity

Environmental DNA (eDNA) research plays a vital role in for detecting and monitoring invasive species for biosecurity management.

Featured project

Technology is revolutionising the way scientists monitor, research and uncover new information about habitats and species.

We are at the forefront of testing the feasibility of new technologies, including eDNA, drones, artifical intelligence and advanced camera technology.

eDNA and technology

We are using DNA methods to identify what dugongs in the Townsville region are eating other than seagrass, and trialling a new eDNA approach.
