Purpose: Finalise the baseline assessment of Koala populations in Brisbane City Council LGA. Further fieldwork to collect more genetic samples non-invasively (DNA sourced from scats), identify and map genetically distinct populations and how the populations interact, identify genetic diversity of each population, identify disease status (
C. pecorum and KoRV). Total 823km searched with the detection dogs in Brisbane City Council LGA. Genetic analyses performed by WildDNA/Federation University. Total 445km of detection dog searches. The publicly released version of the report may be accessed here:
