Your Scientific Partner in Conservation
We provide start-to-finish, hands-on support for your wildlife or ecosystem conservation project. From inventory and monitoring to sample collection and cutting edge genetic analysis, Tangled Bank works with you enhance capacity and expertise to take your project to the next level.
Organizations We Work With
Your Conservation Goals are Our Goals
We join your team as supplemental experts, genetic scientists, and environmental consultants to expand your research capacity and reach.
Species Detection, Recovery, Repopulation
- Develop species specific eDNA assays to conduct presence/absence studies
- Assess success of repopulation projects such as fish stocking
- Quantify species abundance across habitats or populations
Habitat Management, Creation, Restoration
- Assessment and analysis of degraded habitats
- Ecological restoration planning and strategy development
- Habitat restoration design and implementation
- Invasive species management and eradication
Biodiversity Monitoring and Inventories
- Species inventory and monitoring
- Habitat surveys and assessments
- Camera trapping for species diversity and target species detection
- Tracking and telemetry studies for animal movement and behavior
Determine Genetic Health and Diversity
- Assess level of inbreeding within populations
- Identify gene flow among populations
- Test for genetic bottlenecks of populations
- Determine status of hybrid populations
Conservation Prioritization
- Identification of key biodiversity areas and hotspots
- Identification of critical corridors and buffer zones
- Species prioritization based on conservation status and vulnerability
- Long-term planning and adaptive management strategies for sustained conservation efforts
Identifying & Reclassifying Species
- Population and Conservation Genomics
- Species delimitation
- Phylogeography
Have Different Goals?
Much More Than A Genetics Lab
We aren't like other companies who will just run your samples. We supplement your conservation team however it’s most needed from project planning, through data analysis, and report writing.
We will:
- Provide project management support
- Fly out to your project site to collect those samples for you
- Create new primers & try new techniques/protocols
- Do statistical data analysis & write up findings reports
