Environmental DNA comparison between institutions in the Ginninderry Corridor

  • Row Image

    The Ginninderry Conservation Trust contracted three institutions to undertake environmental DNA-based surveys for vertebrate fauna through water samples within the Ginninderry Conservation Corridor and surrounds in the ACT. The Trust was interested in seeing what DNA results would come from sampling different dams and flowing water in and around the Corridor. This sampling was done on five separate occasions in three years (2021-2023) across 12 sites. Bridie has been analysing the four reports on the eDNA results in the Corridor and has found a lot of differences between each report and the results they presented which sparked interest to analyse further.
