Dugong population genetic services to Parque Nacional do Arquipélago do Barzaruto, Moçambique - 2
Provision of research support to estimate genetic diversity and assess changing population sizes on 15 dugong tissue samples (11 skin, 4 tissue) collected from Moçambique.
The work will include DNA extractions, genomic sequencing, bioinformatic analyses, and interpretation in a written report. The work is designed to enable comparison with existing estimates of dugong genetic diversity and population size changes.
Specific bioinformatic analyses include:
Genetic diversity estimates
- heterozygosity
- genome-wide nucleotide diversity
- runs of homozygosity (inbreeding indicator)
Population size change estimates
- Tajima’s D
- Multi sequential Markovian Coalescent analyses
- Gone analyses (to estimate recent effective population size changes)
EarthBank: An Australian geochemistry network activity enabling the analysis, preservation and discoverability of nationally significant Earth & environmental collections
This project will fund an Earthbank scientist to contribute to the expansion of the Earthbank database and build capacity in earth and environmental sciences.
Frantz Magnetic Separator
A Frantz Magnetic Separator is a fundamental piece of equipment for efficient mineral separation, by enabling separation of heavy minerals using their magnetic properties. This instrument directly contributes to workflows for geochemical analyses and geochronology being undertake in the AAC and supports critical minerals research at JCU.
Understanding the ecology and behaviour of platypus in far North Queensland
Our study seeks to understand the ecology and behaviour of genetically isolated and understudied platypuses in far north Queensland. While platypuses were classified as “near threatened” by the IUCN in 2016, most research has been confined to populations in NSW and Victoria. Far north Queensland uniquely hosts platypuses in a predominantly rainforest environment, yet formal region-specific ecological knowledge is lacking. To address this, we aim to 1) assess the presence and relative abundance of platypuses in the Atherton Tablelands, 2) quantify population demographics, and 3) quantify local resource availability and quantify carrying capacity. These efforts will help us establish a baseline understanding of the population’s overall health and longevity and cultivate a more nuanced understanding of the population’s unique characteristics and life history. Developing such knowledge is critical to informing current and future regional management and conservation efforts of this iconic Australian species in a rainforest biome.
This project will work closely with local stake holders and conservation efforts, mainly Dulguburra Yidinji traditional owners and the Yungaburra Landcare Group who share a vested interest in the project’s findings.
