Developing and Applying Methodologies to Characterise Biodiversity Using Ancient and Degraded DNA

This thesis explores the utility of high-throughput DNA sequencing in characterising ancient and degraded DNA in south-west Australia. With the development of a new bulk-bone metabarcoding methodology alongside the extraction and characterisation of plant DNA from sediment, this thesis enabled a det...
