Vertebrate Biogeography

0 Collections | Updated 1 month ago

Vertebrate biogeographic survey and monitoring is a project to catalogue and survey the vertebrate biodiversity of a particular region or area.

These research projects are useful to determine the vertebrate biodiversity of regions that have been disturbed by human activities, or areas that have been isolated from the Australian mainland by sea level changes in the recent past.

Survey specimens are deposited into other collections within the Terrestrial Zoology department.
