Determination of biodiversity resources, their conservation value and the development of procedures for maximising regional conservation gains in the face of competing forms of land-use (conservation planning). Patterns of community development, the assessment of the response of communities to disturbances and the evaluation of ecological restoration as a conservation tool. Research on the biogeography, systematics and phylogeny of insect, amphibian and mammalian taxa
