WildAP Services and infrastructure

Wild Animal Phenotyping (WildAP) Services and infrastructure available to researchers

WildAP provides services through researcher training and access to state-of-the-art phenotyping equipment, analysis software and infrastructure. The concept behind WildAP services is to allow for seamless and efficient planning and actualization of phenotype-based research. I.e., Researchers can consult WildAP expertise at the planning and grant application stages of work, be trained in the use of WildAP facilities and equipment that they are renting and be further supported during research.

Preliminary inquiries about 2025 pricing can be made by contacting John Loehr.
