Description
White sharks are central to the marine environments they inhabit, influencing trophic energy transfer through top-down predation and mediating the behaviour of co-occurring animals. Understanding their ecology is, therefore, critical. The emergence of DNA-based tools has enabled a rich characterisation for the ecology of these animals. This workshop will provide an overview of genomic methods for gaining insights into white shark biology and ecology, and for informing management. We will first provide a brief overview of genomics, followed by an in-depth discussion focusing on genomic approaches that examine population-based questions and eDNA. We will then wrap up the workshop with a methodological section introducing the laboratory and emerging technologies used in white shark genomics. We will encourage workshop participants to provide any personal insight into experiences with different technologies and how they plan to or have used them to answer their own research questions.| Period | 12 Nov 2023 |
