Projects

Research within the current projects covers a range of taxonomic and systematic investigations using a diversity of approaches and methodologies.


     
Morphology and molecular analysis contributes to research on the ant genera Camponotus, Iridomyrmex and Monomorium. [more]
 
Barcoding technologies and morphological studies are involved in research on "Mayflies and other aquatic macroinvertebrates" which are widely used for monitoring of freshwater quality. [more]
 
Identification tools for Australia’s insect families are provided on the web, many of which are being developed as user friendly interactive keys. [more]
 
Molecular and morphological analyses are used in ways to rapidly resolve the taxonomy of various small terrestrial Australian mammals, reptiles and amphibians. [more]
             
     
Research on environmental weeds of national significance for which there is a taxonomic impediment to developing appropriate control strategies. [more]
 
Information managers working together with taxonomists and the biological collections to develop new technologies and procedures to capture, manage, analyse and deliver biodiversity information. [more]
 
Knowledge brokers and researchers collaborating with key user groups to develop suitable taxonomic products and services, enabling broad adoption and application in environmental management and decision-making. [more]
 
Anticipated to be the nucleus of a larger and self sustaining national project documenting the species of Australian mangrove communities. [more]
