ADVANCED COURSE:
THERE’S SOMETHING IN THE WATER: Tracking Down Biodiversity in Aquatic Landscapes using Environmental DNA
January 20-24, 2025 | Face-to-face
This course provides the basic concepts and techniques involved in water environmental DNA (eDNA) tools for assessing biodiversity in both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. eDNA analysis is an innovative and non-invasive approach for studying elusive and endangered species, assessing biodiversity and monitoring ecosystem health. Considering the wide range of possible applications for water eDNA, coupled with the vast diversity of sampling, laboratory work, bioinformatics, and analytical approaches, it can be intimidating to initiate an eDNA-based project. Therefore, in this course, we provide participants with the basic knowledge necessary to design, implement, and analyse biodiversity information using different molecular assays.
This course intends to provide a comprehensive understanding of this groundbreaking tool and its applications in ecology and conservation.
New application deadline: January 02, 2025
