The biologists at Sinopah have years of experience designing and executing projects ranging from single species, single season abundance estimates to multi-species, multi-year population growth rate and connectivity studies.  Although our primary focus has been on noninvasive sampling methods and related analyses, we fully believe in using the appropriate methods for your questions, and believe that integrated approaches are often the most powerful.  Our expertise with genetic and genomic techniques, live capture and telemetry, remote cameras, and stable isotopes means that we can address a broad range of objectives with the scientific rigor expected by our clients.

Beyond identifying the best methods, we can also help clients identify and refine their research questions.  We believe in focusing on hypothesis driven, actionable science, which means understanding the causes, not simply estimating parameters.
