In the Marine biodiversity group we explore a wide range of marine biological fields: alpha taxonomy, systematic revisions, phylogenetic studies, faunistics and algal floristics, morphological studies, developmental studies, parasitology, phylogeography, population genetics and marine bioprospecting.

By studying a great diversity of marine organisms, we take advantage of the variety of scientific expertise within the group, which entails that many of our projects are multidisciplinary in approach. In particular, the group sees it as essential to combine classical and cutting edge methods in morphology, molecular biology and marine field research.
