| Systematics is one of the oldest disciplines at Uppsala University, following a long tradition that began with Linnaeus and continues to the present. The Systematic Biology program combines the former Systematic Botany and Zoology departments into a single group studying a wide range of topics from alpha-taxonomy to the deepest branches in the tree of life. A combination of traditional and modern techniques are used to study the important topics in modern systematics including taxonomy, molecular evolution, bioinformatics, ethnobotany, conservation and phylogenetic methods. |
