Research subjects

Zoology covers a wide range of topics around animal biology - from genomics to ecosystems, nerve cells to behavior and evolution to conservation.

Zoology is the branch of biology that studies animals, both living and extinct. Our research includes studies of animal biology, such as behaviour, conservation, ecology, evolution, genomics and paleobiology.

Our research areas

Zoology

Zoology is the branch of biology that studies animals, both living and extinct.

Research subjects

Animal Ecology

Ecology is the study of how organisms interact with each other and their physical environment, as well as the large-scale patterns and processes that this gives rise to.

Ethology

Ethology is the scientific study of how and why animals behave in the way they do.

Functional Zoomorphology

Functional Zoomorphology is the study of the relationship between the structure of organisms (or systems within organisms) and their function.

Population Genetics

Population genetics study intraspecific genetic variation and the micro-evolutionary processes that govern this variation.

Systematics and Evolution

Zoologic systematics and evolution describes and the explanes of the evolution and diversity of the fauna.
