Our aim is to understand the evolution of behavioral and physiological mechanisms that allow animals to respond adaptively to their changing natural environment. This will help us to understand how animals can respond to climate change. We are especially interested in phenotypic flexibility. We use methods from ecology, behavioral ecology, physiology and evolutionary biology to understand how ultimate factors integrate with proximate mechanisms.

Research Station
A registered non-profit organisation supporting research on whole organisms. |
The Succulent Karoo Research Station at Goegap Nature Reserve aims to increase our knowledge about the ecology of the Hardeveld of Namaqualand with special reference to the important role of small mammals. We study behavioral and physiological flexibility as adaptations to survive in an extreme environment. Our scientific merit is represented in publications in high ranking international scientific journals. The Research Station offers a convenient and pleasant workplace for scientists from all over the world in an unique environment. The Research station aims to promote Goegap Nature Reserve and Namaqualand as a tourist destination.
