Understanding the processes generating biodiversity and the factors responsible for changes in biodiversity in space and time are of fundamental importance for evolutionary biologists, ecologists and biogeographers. These are also questions of main interest for the Systematic Zoology and Biodiversity Lab. The lab uses a set of model groups, mainly invertebrate taxa such as mollusks, leeches and corals, but also vertebrate groups such as fish and birds to study evolutionary changes in various places on earth.
