298 - Prussian Carp, from strange reproductive techniques to eDNA assay development, with Patrick Hannington from the University of Alberta


Listen Later

On this weeks episode Brendan sits down with Patrick Hannington, a professor in the School of Public Health at the University of Alberta. His interests are at the interface between animals, parasites, and freshwater environments, including Prussian carp, a species capable of gynogesis, a reproductive technique that involves cloning and sperm stealing!  Patrick and Brendan discuss Prussian Carp, eDNA assay development, genetics, and assay validation.

Recently, Patrick and his research group have been working to develop and implement a decentralized environmental DNA surveillance network to inform our understanding of invasive species, like Prussian carp and invasive mussels, in Western Canada.
