Environmental DNA can be isolated from a vast range of environmental samples (e.g., water, soil, sediment etc.) and is fast becoming an important, non-invasive surveying tool for terrestrial and semi-aquatic mammals. Dr. Allan McDevitt will start of the webinar with an introduction to eDNA and our lab group at the University of Salford (UoS). Holly Broadhurst will then present her PhD research on using eDNA to monitor British mammals, such as mapping water vole metapopulations in the Scottish Highlands, detecting otters using a new digital PCR approach and the powerful work done by Essex Wildlife Trust volunteers. The talk will finish with a question and answer session by those attending the webinar.

Organised by

Mammal Society

We are the only organisation involved in the study and conservation of all British mammals - from dormice to dolphins, and bats to badgers. We support a growing network of amateur and professional mammalogists and conservationists working for mammals across the country and abroad, and provide a hub of information and expertise. We are the national voice for mammal conservation, working to identify the threats mammals face and halt declines before it’s too late; we provide scientific advice to advocate sound conservation policies based on thorough research and surveying; and we inform and educate people of all ages to raise awareness of mammal conservation issues.

THE MAMMAL SOCIETY IS VAT REGISTERED BUT WE ARE AN ELIGIBLE BODY SO OUR TRAINING & EVENTS ARE VAT EXEMPT.
