This laboratory serves to explore and investigating the Indonesian marine biodiversity trough research and education. Our research focuses on marine biodiversity, mostly vertebrates diversity, with special attention to evolutionary genetics and speciation, molecular ecology, and fish ecology and systematics. Whenever possible we use complementary approaches at the genomic, phenothypic, ecological and environmental level to support our findings. We also do research on fish habitat rehabilitation and using fish or other biota as biological indicatiors.
