Salt lakes sit empty for decades, and standard eDNA sampling needs water to filter. Discover how our team trialled sugar flotation to lift the eggs from dry sediment, pairing it with DNA metabarcoding with the result of nearly every sample returning a detection, and the method recovered seven taxa that traditional rehydration trials missed.

He’s done it! Zoologist Mark Gresser has crossed the finish line walking from the furthest points of Australia to raise money for youth mental health. It has been an epic feat of willpower and endurance, along the way Mark has had some amazing experiences and faced some real challenges, he shares some of them with us here.

In FY26, we achieved more than 6,000 field days without a single Lost Time Injury (LTI), a testament to the strong safety culture our team has built together.
At Biologic, safety isn’t just a priority. It’s a shared responsibility. Every team member is empowered to work safely, speak up and look out for one another.
Here are some of the key insights from our recent offsite Safety Day and how we’re continuing to raise the bar for safety across the industry.

How does a specimen collected by our field team become a sequenced and described species?

Last week was Mark’s birthday, so what better time for a trek update? 

Biologic Group is now located at 10 Sangiorgio Court, Osborne Park.

Subterranean ecosystems, which exist underground, are known for being highly biodiverse – but also under-sampled and under-sequenced. Our Manager of Molecular Systematics, Dr Joel Huey, has recently contributed to a research paper which provides a roadmap for developing and curating barcode reference libraries for subterranean ecosystems.

More than 240 people came together for the 5th annual Walpole Wilderness Bioblitz, recording over 3500 observation, see what they discovered

We recently sat down with Dean Main—our newest returning team member—to hear his reflections on coming back to Biologic after nearly five years working client-side.

At Biologic, we’re proud to have a team who genuinely love exploring all sorts of biomes for all sorts of reasons – and Mark Gresser is no exception. Mark, who has been a Senior Zoologist within our Vertebrate Fauna Team for the past six years, is currently trekking more than 5,000 kilometres across Australia to raise awareness and funds for youth mental health through organisation Batyr.
