Systematics and biodiversity
Our research focuses on measures of variation in living organisms, from genetic diversity within species to species variety across ecosystems.
Our research measures areas such as the number of species, functional variety of species, evenness of species distribution, or genetic diversity. We also investigate levels of biodiversity, its functional effects, and how and why it changes over time.
