Research at the Harrison Institute
Research Mission
To conduct world-class, collaborative research in classical (whole organism) taxonomy in Recent and fossil mammals.
Research Criteria
Institute projects, particularly those on Recent mammals, are designed to include three components. They should:
- lead to a greater understanding of the diversity of life, extant and fossil
- include a transfer of knowledge and training
- facilitate and promote biodiversity conservation
Current Research
The Institute is currently participating in and/or co-ordinating a range of research projects
Past Research
Historically, the Institute has worked extensively in the Old World tropics and subtropics, including Arabia, Africa, the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia [more information]
In Palaeontology, it has researched fossil faunas in the UK and continental Europe [more information]
