The latest Science Connection features an article on the work of BopCo.

The latest Science Connection (no. 63), a magazine published by the Belgian Science Policy (BELSPO) features an article on the work of BopCo. It focusses on the use of DNA barcoding for the identification of invasive alien species (IAS) and the 49 factsheets BopCo produced within this context, each investigating and evaluating the usefulness of publicly available DNA sequence data to reliably identify the IAS included in the EU Regulation. The article also discusses the species identifications of potential exotic mosquitoes collected in Belgium within the framework of the Monitoring of Exotic Mosquitoes (MEMO) project and the identification of bushmeat samples colleted in Brussels.

The article is available in Dutch and French.
