ICB combines expertise in three core research areas
1. Evolutionary
Biology
2. Environmental Biology
3. Conservation Law and Policy
Within the two scientific themes we aim to perform world class
research into the evolution, ecology and physiology of Australian
biota. The research of many academics within the Institute encompasses
more than one of these discipline areas, with the majority of staff
seeking to link science with law and policy to achieve better conservation
outcomes.
