Biodiversity & Conservation
Genomic tools for biodiversity conservation.
Conservation genomics, genetic diversity, population connectivity, species monitoring: LDgenX provides conservation managers, public authorities, associations and research teams with genetic data to understand populations and inform their conservation action.
Your field questions
Monitor, understand, support management.
Before choosing a technology, we take the time to understand the question, the environment and the information you need.
Monitoring species
Detection and monitoring of protected, threatened or invasive species, in line with conservation objectives.
Understanding populations
Population genetics: genetic diversity, inbreeding, hybridisation and connectivity between populations.
Supporting management
Genomic information for reintroduction and ecological restoration projects and National Action Plans.
Applications
- Monitoring of threatened and protected species
- National Action Plans (NAPs)
- Assessment of genetic diversity
- Detection of inbreeding
- Hybridisation studies
- Ecological connectivity analyses
- Individual assignment and origin tracing
- Detection and monitoring of invasive species
- Reintroduction and ecological restoration programmes
Case studies
- Assessment of genetic diversity and population structure
- Detection of hybridisation between populations and species
- Monitoring of threatened species
The services to bring in
From eDNA to population genomics.
From sampling to interpretation, we connect the services to the need identified with you.
Your project in practice
Shared scoping. A tailored proposal.
Tell us about the context, the site or population studied, the objectives and the existing data. This first conversation scopes the need and the steps of support.
To prepare the first conversation
- Your objective and the decision it should inform
- The context: site, environment, species or population studied
- The samples or data already available
- Your schedule and field constraints
What we define together
- The scope of the service
- The sampling strategy and the analyses
- How results are reported
- The schedule and the quote
