International Symposium on Environmental DNA for Conservation and Biomonitoring in Southeast Asia 2023
About the Symposium
The application of environmental DNA (eDNA) in biomonitoring has taken off in recent years in Southeast Asia, due to better availability of omics platforms and expertise. Environmental DNA is now being used in biodiversity surveys, to monitor population dynamics and movement of threatened and economically important species and assess response of species and communities to environmental change. This inaugural symposium aims to bring together eDNA researchers to discuss the opportunities and challenges in the Southeast Asia region and beyond.
The symposium is held in conjunction with the 4th International Workshop for Mangrove Biodiversity Studies by eDNA Metabarcoding 2023 (11-19 Mar 2023).
