Scientists
SAIAB’s research team focuses its attention on the full spectrum of aquatic environments: from marine offshore to continental freshwater catchments.
Research covers ecology and conservation biology that links biodiversity at molecular and organism levels with the environment and genetic and species diversity.
Conservation Biology & Ecology (CBE)
Focuses on understanding the processes underpinning aquatic biodiversity in order to inform the conservation of those resources.
Molecular Biology & Systematics (MBS)
Focuses on the exploration and description of southern African aquatic biodiversity from a molecular to a community level.
