Abstract
This research theme includes studies of evolutionary biology and taxonomy by the application of bioacoustic, numerical taxonomic, morphometric and molecular biological techniques. Research is being undertaken on selected animal group models from different zoogeographical regions. Research projects include the evolutionary biogeography of the mammals of the Greco-Anatolian land-bridge region, bioacustically-based global phylogeny of the insect superorder Hemiptera, production of a monograph on the ''''stonefly'''' (Plecoptera) genus Perla, the phylogeny and systematics of megachilid wasps (Hymenoptera), the coevolution of ectoparasites (Siphonaptera, Diptera) and their hosts and their roles in human and animal disease, the evolutionary biology and zoogeography of the dipteran ''''dance fly'''' genus Hemerodromia (Empididae) and studies of bird biodiversity in forest ecosystems.
