Welcome to ACEBB

The Australian Centre for Evolutionary Biology & Biodiversity (ACEBB) is a University designated research centre that brings together expertise from two key organisations: The University of Adelaide and the South Australian Museum. In addition, a number of other groups are involved in ACEBB, including the Plant Biodiversity Centre in the South Australian Department for Environment & Heritage. The Centre started operation in October 2000.

Mission

2. provide more secure funding and first-class infrastructure through collaboration among its members and with colleagues externally,
3. attract high-quality postgraduates,
