Research
GGBC researchers all work with biodiversity in some way. Research at the GGBC looks at both terrestrial and marine habitats, from the tropics to the arctic. Some of the key research themes among our members include: macroevolution, macroecology, phylogenetics, phylogenomics, conservation, software development, ecosystem services, biogeography and more.
