Molecular Zoology
Integrative Molecular Zoology explores how genomes, organisms, populations, and ecosystems interact and adapt across molecular, spatial, and evolutionary scales. By integrating functional genomics, movement ecology, and predictive bioinformatics, the research investigates the mechanisms driving biodiversity dynamics and biological resilience under global environmental change.
