Systematics & Evolutionary Biology

Research Groups and Centres

Systematics & Evolutionary Biology, within the school of Earth and Environmental Sciences, is contained within two major research centres:


ACEBB forms part of the Environment Institute and is a nationally recognised centre of expertise in systematics, evolutionary biology and biodiversity science.

The Centre is performing as one of the top research groups in the University of Adelaide. A unique strength of ACEBB is the relationship between the SA Museum, State Herbarium and Bioknowledge, South Australian DEH and the University of Adelaide. These excellent facilities are seen as the best practice model in Australia.

For information about research and projects please visit http://www.adelaide.edu.au/environment/acebb/


ACAD forms part of the Environment Institute and is one of the leading ancient DNA centres in the world, and the only one in the Southern Hemisphere. With an international reputation for highly-innovative research, ACAD is developing new platform technologies, and collaborative programs with international research leaders across multiple fields.

Researchers in ACAD study evolution and environmental change through time using preserved genetic records in human, animal, plant and sedimentary material. The centre's key interests include molecular studies of population genetics, paleoenvironments, phylogeny, phylogeography, molecular clocks, and the application of DNA sequences deposited through time.
