- Animal EvoDevo
- Metazoan Functional and Evolutionary Morphology
- Invertebrate Phylogeny
- Invertebrate Sensory Systems and Neurobiology
- Evolutionary Morphology: interface between palaeobiology and evolutionary developmental biology of vertebrates.
For this we integrate living and fossil organisms, knowledge of their evolutionary relationships, past diversity patterns, and developmental biology, to provide a holistic understanding of their evolutionary history. - NHM main research areas and methodological approaches ares:
- Biological systematics / integrative taxonomy / phylogenetics / phylogenomic
- Molecular genetic analyses / phylogeography / population genetics / species delimitation
- Molecular methods applied to conservation and biodiversity research
- Collection-based research / comparative morphology
- Co-evolution and symbiosis
