Zoology

Since the Joanneum was founded, collecting, researching and communicating have been among the main tasks of the staff of the Zoological Collection. Today, the focus is on collecting and documenting the fauna of Styria. The research results are incorporated into expert reports, fill both scientific and popular science publications and ultimately form important components of our educational activities in the form of exhibitions, lectures and excursions.
