CASE STUDY

Soil eDNA helps Jacobs survey biodiversity for road project

Jacobs was contracted by Transport Scotland to undertake an impact assessment for a major road widening project. This had determined that compensatory woodland planting was required, and soil translocation had been proposed as a measure to improve the success of the new habitat creation.

CASE STUDY

UK crayfish surveys with aquatic eDNA

Norfolk Rivers Trust used eDNA to track the UK endemic white-clawed crayfish (WCC), and the invasive signal crayfish in UK rivers. This project gave a valuable insight into crayfish distributions with directly applicable management outcomes.

CASE STUDY

Peruvian Amazon Case Study

When WWF Peru approached us to help survey six aquatic species including Amazon manatees, pink river dolphins and migratory catfish along the Marañon river in the Northern Peruvian Amazon as part of their Healthy Rivers programme, we knew that our aquatic eDNA service would prove an invaluable resource.

CASE STUDY

Invertebrate Surveys at Winwick Wind Farm

Wild Frontier Ecology (WFE) wanted to conduct invertebrate surveys at a new wind farm in Northamptonshire to inform the Habitat Improvement Plan for the site. NatureMetrics conducted DNA metabarcoding analyses to identify the diverse species present in samples collected by WFE.
