Welcome!
The Evolutionary Ecology and Conservation Lab is led by Dr. David Bickford, one of the newest member of the Biodiversity Group at the Department of Biological Sciences, National University of Singapore. The lab is multi-faceted with a variety of projects, interests, and study topics, focusing on amphibian and reptile ecology, evolution, and conservation. Goals include description and explanation of Southeast Asian biodiversity, with interests reflecting behavior, evolution, systematics, biogeography, ecology, and conservation.

More lab photos to follow, once we get properly set-up and it looks more like 'home'....... |
