Invertebrates make up the vast majority of animal life on the planet. Their ecological importance cannot be overstated- they are our pollinators, our pest controllers, and our waste managers. They may hold the key to new technologies.

They are also beautiful.

The Invertebrate Behaviour and Ecology lab is committed to protecting invertebrate biodiversity through research, science communication and education.
