Dozens of speakers presented over the course of 3 days, including the following presentations by Biologic Staff:
Dr Giulia Perina – Bathynellacea (Crusacea): A diverse subterranean group in Australian aquifers. What we know and what we need for conservation
Dr Joel Huey – Environmental DNA for targeted environmental surveys

We thank the conference hosts and organisers for the chance to present, and look forward to more opportunities to showcase our work and our team.
