Acoustic monitoring is one of our biggest and most active groups, with members collecting, analysing, and interpreting acoustic data from across species, ecosystems, and applications, from animal vocalizations to sounds from our natural and built environment

I WANT TO TELL YOUR STORY

Looking for a place to discuss camera trap troubleshooting, compare models, collaborate with members working with other technologies like machine learning and bioacoustics, or share and exchange data from your camera trap research? Get involved in our Camera Traps group! All are welcome whether you are new to camera trapping, have expertise from the field to share, or are curious about how your skill sets can help those working with camera traps.

New Group Proposal: Systems Builders & PACIM Designers

eDNA is a molecular conservation tech tool that can be used to detect species presence in samples taken directly from the environment. To date, eDNA has been used for species detection, biomass estimation, diet analysis, reconstruction of past flora and fauna, and wildlife disease detection. Still a relatively new area of conservation tech, eDNA is in a phase of rapid innovation and growth, with improved ease of use and more accessibility allowing this technology to find new uses in the field and lab.

Population genetics with eDNA

Using SNP markers with an Amphibian species, we were able to identify a total of 17,617 nuclear single nuclear polymorphisms shared across individual, pond eDNA (4 populations) and tank eDNA samples (where tadpoles of the four ponds were housed), enabling us to detect genetic structuring across sampling locations (previously demenstrated with microsatellites and tissue samples), consistent with individual-based estimates. Collecting only the matrix (here water) allows describing the existing population structure...that could be a nice progress for conservation biology...

Human-Wildlife Conflict

Field testing the PolarBearWatchdog!

Human-wildlife conflict is a significant challenge that only grows as habitats shrink and other issues like climate change alter the natural world. Technologies like biologging gear have become essential for proactively addressing human-wildlife conflict before it escalates, and tech projects that seek to understand population ranges and behaviour can help people learn to live with wildlife as part of our own environments. If you're interested in using technology to prevent human-wildlife conflict, this group is the place for you!

I WANT TO TELL YOUR STORY

Wildlife crime is a complicated challenge, so it's no wonder that the conservation technology community has explored solutions with every type of technology, all with the aim of predicting, preventing, and stopping crimes like poaching, illegal logging and fishing, and the sale of animal products like ivory. Join our Wildlife Crime group to meet others who are working on potential solutions to this global challenge and to add your own expertise to the conversation!

Opportunity to participate in study on what counts as evidence in conservation

Please help us by participating in a MSc research project on what you consider to be 'evidence' in your work in conservation.
