7 Food Chain Analysis - the brief Is it possible to determine what food items are attracting birds to airports using molecular methods? - what s on the menu? - can it be identified?
8 Food Chain Analysis - the brief Is it possible to determine what food items are attracting birds to airports using molecular methods? - what s on the menu? - can it be identified? - which birds?
9 Food Chain Analysis - the brief Is it possible to determine what food items are attracting birds to airports using molecular methods? - what s on the menu? - can it be identified? - which birds? - how will it help?
10 Food Chain Analysis - the brief Is it possible to determine what food items are attracting birds to airports using molecular methods? - what s on the menu? - can it be identified? - which birds? - how will it help? Oct 2013
11 Food Chain Analysis - the brief Is it possible to determine what food items are attracting birds to airports using molecular methods? - what s on the menu? - can it be identified? - which birds? - how will it help? 2008
12 Food Chain Analysis - the brief Is it possible to determine what food items are attracting birds to airports using molecular methods? - what s on the menu? - can it be identified? - which birds? - how will it help? In this study I m using bird stomach contents to address these questions.
13 Food Chain Analysis - the brief Metabarcoding & Morphology In this study I m using bird stomach contents to address these questions.
14 Food Chain Analysis - the brief Building on previous work Metabarcoding In this study I m using bird stomach contents to address these questions.
15 Food Chain Analysis - the brief Using Illumina NGS technology Building on previous work Metabarcoding In this study I m using bird stomach contents to address these questions.
16 Food Chain Analysis - the brief Customizing the protocols for the airline industry Using improved NGS technology Building on previous work Metabarcoding In this study I m using bird stomach contents to address these questions.
17 Does this fit within our core business? The Australian Museum Research Institute includes - Ornithologists - Entomologists - Ecologists - Marine Biologists - A modern molecular biology facility - A large collection resource of Australian Fauna - A good working association with the Airline Industry

19 How will it help? Improved data on the range and identity of food items can - help manage insect populations - help manage bird populations - help identify problems areas
20 How will it help? Improved data on the range and identity of food items - helps manage insect populations - helps manage bird populations - helps identify problems areas Monitoring seasonal variation - better understanding of environmental factors - efficacy of ground covers such as AVANEX
21 How will it help? Improved data on the range and identity of food items - helps manage insect populations - helps manage bird populations - helps identify problems areas Monitoring seasonal variation - better understanding of environmental factors - efficacy of ground covers such as AVANEX Comprehensive pest management strategy
22 How will it help?
