Species identification capabilities

  1. Multi-method ID

    Species identification from images, audio and DNA sequences using specialised analytical approaches.

  2. Verified results

    Human verification ensures accuracy and builds confidence before findings inform advice.

  3. Continuous improvement

    Verified data strengthens future analysis while scientific judgement stays central.

  4. Broad taxonomic coverage

    Support across mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles, insects and plants as programmes require.

Evidence sources we work with

Camera Trapping

Species ID from camera trap imagery at landscape scale.

Bioacoustics

Identify vocalising species from continuous acoustic recordings.

Environmental DNA

Detect species presence from eDNA with molecular methods.

Field Observations

Expert verification and ground-truthing for species identification.

Remote Sensing

Spatial context and habitat layers supporting species distribution analysis.

Reference Datasets

Authoritative datasets that strengthen identification and validation.
