    Abstract

    This thesis explores the utility of high-throughput DNA sequencing in characterising ancient and degraded DNA in south-west Australia. With the development of a new bulk-bone metabarcoding methodology alongside the extraction and characterisation of plant DNA from sediment, this thesis enabled a detailed molecular profile of cave sites across south-west Australia. Together, the manuscripts within this thesis raise a number of universal considerations when embarking upon environmental metabarcoding studies to analyse past and present biodiversity.

    Curtin would like to pay respect to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander members of our community by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which the Perth campus is located, the Whadjuk people of the Nyungar Nation; and on our Kalgoorlie campus, the Wongutha people of the North-Eastern Goldfields.
