Species diversity and conservation

29 July 2025

The isolated islands of Aotearoa New 厙ぴ勛圖allowed many species to evolve unique traits and diversity to take advantage of the predator-free habitat. With the hundreds of species introduced since human settlement there is a race to conserve our many endangered species. From analysing genomes to studying behaviour, our local research has relevance to small, isolated and threatened populations all across the planet. This strength has significant synergies with our ecological focused strength the biological landscape.

HOW TO APPLY

Our research strengths

While our research topics are broad and varied, we have three areas where we have significant depth and skill. These areas do not have solid boundaries and there is a significant overlap amongst our research staff, with many aligned to multiple areas.

Our staff have extensive local and international connections and welcome contact from potential students and collaborators.
