Thankyou!

The Fox DNA Project has been a great success because of the support of so many people. We collected over 3,500 samples and more than 1000 people provided samples or advice. This is probably the largest project of its kind attempted anywhere in the world, and the broadscale public interest is testament to the importance Australians place on feral animal control.

Particular thanks needs to go to Dave Peacock in South Australia for tirelessly coordinating sampling in that state, Steve Lapidge of the Invasive Animals CRC for supporting the project, and The Bureau of Rural Sciences for funding the work. 

Samples or advice were provided by -
