This project is an ambitious and comprehensive endeavor aimed at exploring the diverse and fascinating world of Geometrid moths in southern Africa. Over the next decade, our international team of experts will embark on a holistic review of these captivating creatures, delving into their taxonomy, biology, phylogeny, and biogeography.
Our mission is to produce a detailed and authoritative monograph series that encapsulates the breadth and depth of knowledge about Geometrid moths in southern Africa. Through meticulous research, we aim to uncover the complexities of these moths, revealing insights into their evolution, ecological roles, and distribution across various southern African countries.
Partnership and Collaboration
This project is a collaborative effort made possible through the expertise and dedication of leading entomologists from around the world. Our esteemed cooperation partners include: Hermann Staude (South Africa), Hossein Rajaei and Axel Hausmann (Germany), Pasi Sihvonen (Finland).
