Research

Biodiversity is a broad field of study that covers the diversity of life on Earth, from genes to species, from species to ecosystems. Research on biodiversity spans a variety of disciplines, including taxonomy, systematics, ecology, genetics, conservation and more. It explores the richness and complexity of life, the connections between different species and the ecosystems they form. Researchers use a variety of methods and tools, including fieldwork, laboratory research, data analysis, digital imaging and modeling techniques, to better understand the complexity and importance of biodiversity.
