Systematics including taxonomy
The research profile, which is based on collections and large datasets, is nationally unique. Emerging research fields are conservation biology and multidisciplinary biodiversity research. Altogether, the research has a strong fundamental character, but it is often directly and increasingly societally relevant. The strongest research groups work on the following topics: fungal systematics, entomology, boreal phylogeography, bird community trends, global geological development, palaeoclimate reconstruction, and plant conservation methods.

Luomus is involved with the Helsinki University Department of Biosciences and Department of Geology and Geography teaching programs. Staff-members participate in teaching systematics and geology for undergraduate level and give special courses for higher-level students. Staff-members also supervise MSc and PhD thesis. |
Staff-members are sometimes invited to participate as experts/lecturers in various non-University education programs. Students work as trainees in the botanic gardens. Taxidermists are trained by apprenticeship. |
