Our services for the monitoring of taxonomic groups merge cutting-edge environmental DNA (eDNA) technology with established field methods to facilitate thorough assessments of the presence, relative abundance, and distribution of specific taxonomic groups across various ecosystems.
This holistic approach enables us to gain insights into the biodiversity and dynamics within particular groups such as fishes, amphibians, reptiles, invertebrates, mammals, birds, plants, fungi, and microbial communities.

Aquatic System Monitoring
Our comprehensive understanding of aquatic ecosystems is built on a multi-layered approach that combines the sensitivity of eDNA analysis with the reliability of traditional observational methods. This blend allows us to detect a wide range of aquatic life forms, from fishes to amphibians and reptiles inhabiting riparian zones. Employing eDNA sampling alongside conventional detection methods enables us to document even elusive species, contributing to our knowledge of aquatic species inventories.
Terrestrial Monitoring
Beyond aquatic systems, our monitoring extends to terrestrial species, utilizing technologies like camera traps, track surveys, bioacoustic recordings, and direct observations. This methodological amalgamation provides detailed insights into the communities of mammals and birds, illustrating our commitment to conservation through a synthesis of technology and field expertise, and serves to validate the respective approaches.
Plant and fungal diversity is captured through eDNA analysis and direct sampling, facilitating precise detection even in hard-to-reach areas. Microbial monitoring also employs eDNA analyses combined with soil and water sampling to unravel the invisible world of microorganisms crucial for ecosystem health.
Biodiversity Exploration
By integrating the sensitivity of eDNA analysis with the depth of traditional field methods, our taxonomic monitoring service offers significant synergy and validation of findings. This dual approach not only enhances the accuracy of our assessments but also minimizes disturbances to natural habitats.
This strategy enables targeted conservation initiatives, and the development of environmental management plans, and supports long-term ecological research, paving the way for informed decisions and effective biodiversity management on our planet.

FAQ Taxonomic Group Monitoring
Taxonomic Group Monitoring is a specialized service provided by Faunomics, focusing on the systematic observation and analysis of specific taxonomic groups within ecosystems. This service helps in understanding the diversity, distribution, and dynamics of groups such as mammals, birds, insects, plants, and more, offering critical insights for conservation and research.
Our approach involves a combination of field surveys, remote sensing, non-invasive genetic sampling (eDNA), and bioacoustic monitoring, among other techniques. We tailor our methods to the taxonomic group in question, ensuring the most accurate and comprehensive data collection with minimal ecological impact.
Monitoring taxonomic groups is essential for assessing ecosystem health, understanding biodiversity trends, and identifying conservation priorities. It provides the data needed for effective management and protection strategies, helping to maintain ecological balance and support sustainable development.
Yes, one of the core objectives of this service is to track changes in biodiversity over time. By establishing baseline data and conducting regular monitoring, we can detect shifts in species composition, abundance, and distribution, which may indicate ecological changes, habitat degradation, or the impact of conservation efforts.
Absolutely. Whether it’s tropical rainforests, deserts, alpine environments, freshwater systems, or marine ecosystems, our monitoring services are adaptable to a wide range of habitats. We customize our monitoring protocols to suit the specific characteristics and challenges of each ecosystem.
By providing detailed information on the status and trends of various taxonomic groups, this service aids in identifying species at risk, understanding the effects of environmental changes, and guiding conservation actions. It helps prioritize efforts, allocate resources efficiently, and measure the effectiveness of conservation strategies.
Our service is valuable for a wide range of stakeholders, including governmental wildlife and environmental agencies, conservation NGOs, academic and research institutions, and private sector companies involved in environmental impact assessments and biodiversity management.
