We produce science that crosses all levels of biological organisation, from organisms up to ecosystems, both natural and anthropogenic
We raise relevant questions and apply innovative techniques to answer them
We investigate fauna and flora and their relationship with their environment
We design models build scenarios and predict changes
We produce knowledge and develop tools to understand the impact of global changes on biodiversity and on human health and well-being
