These branches are: ‘Non-insect invertebrates’ and ‘Vertebrates; research unit Ichthyology’. The former specialises in the systematics (classification) of diverse groups of animals which fall neither under vertebrates nor insects. This branch is mainly concerned with the study of spiders, mites, Diplopoda and certain marine organisms such as sea cucumbers. The scientists are specialised in the taxonomy, systematics and biogeography of African species. Their studies also focus on biodiversity, research of indicator species and the protection of terrestrial and aquatic fauna.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, the branch ‘Vertebrates; research unit Ichthyology’ is among other things responsible for the database concerning African fresh water and brackish fish (FishBase for Africa).\r\n\r\nIn summary, research conducted on the marine and estuarine components by the department of African Zoology is related to the following topics:\r\n• Taxonomic studies of sea cucumbers;\r\n• FishBase: the largest worldwide fish-encyclopedia and scientific data source on fish. The RMCA is responsible for the African brackish and fresh water fish (www.FishBaseForAfrica.org).\r\n\r\nIn the future, the branch ‘Non-insect invertebrates’ will further delve into the taxonomic study of sea cucumbers. Also, this branch collaborates closely with the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences (RBINS), the Museum Victoria (Australia) and the University of Florida (USA).","AbstractOtherLang":"Binnen het Koninklijk Museum voor Midden-Afrika (KMMA), opgericht in 1898, wordt het departement Afrikaanse Zoölogie opgesplitst in zes afdelingen waarbij twee een mariene of estuariene component bevatten. Dit zijn de afdelingen ‘Invertebraten niet-insecten’ en ‘Vertebraten; onderzoekseenheid Ichtyologie’. De afdeling ‘Invertebraten niet-insecten’ is gespecialiseerd in de systematiek (classificatie) van talrijke groepen van dieren die noch bij de gewervelden noch bij de insecten kunnen ondergebracht worden. De afdeling bestudeert voornamelijk spinnen, mijten, dubbelpotigen en bepaalde zeeorganismen zoals zeekomkommers. De wetenschappers zijn gespecialiseerd in de taxonomie, systematiek en biogeografie van Afrikaanse soorten. Hun studies zijn ook gericht op biodiversiteit, onderzoek naar indicatorsoorten en de bescherming van land- en waterfauna.\r\n\r\nDe afdeling ‘Vertebraten; onderzoekseenheid Ichtyologie’ is onder andere verantwoordelijk voor de databank inzake Afrikaanse zoet- en brakwatervissen (FishBase for Africa).\r\n\r\nSamenvattend kan gesteld worden dat de mariene en estuariene onderzoeksactiviteiten van het departement Afrikaanse Zoölogie betrekking hebben op volgende topics:\r\n• De taxonomische studie van zeekomkommers;\r\n• FishBase: de grootste vis-encyclopedie en wetenschappelijke bron met alle beschikbare data over vissen, wereldwijd. Het KMMA is verantwoordelijk voor de Afrikaanse brakwater- en zoetwatervissen (zie portaal www.FishBaseForAfrica.org).\r\n\r\nIn de toekomst zal de afdeling ‘Invertebraten niet-insecten’ zich verder concentreren op de taxonomische studie van zeekomkommers. Verder kent deze afdeling een intensieve samenwerking met het Koninklijk Belgisch Instituut voor Natuurwetenschappen (KBIN), het Museum Victoria (Australië) en de Universiteit van Florida (VS).","AbstractLangCode":"nl","AbstractLangID":41,"AbstractLang":"Dutch","AbstractLangNL":"Nederlands","SuccessorOfInsID":null,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2024-06-04 01:34:12.180000","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+00:00"},"PrevIns":null,"PrevAcro":null,"PublicFlag":1,"CheckedFlag":0,"ParID":1489,"InstituteType":"Scientific","EnvName":"Belgium","ISO3166":"BE","LevelName":"Department","ND":"2007-09-03","UD":"2015-08-18","EncAddress":", Leuvensesteenweg 13, 3080 Tervuren, Belgium"},"parent":{"PublicFlag":1,"InsID":13587,"OrigNameLangCode":"en","OrigNameLangID":15,"FullStandardName":"Koninklijk Museum voor Midden Afrika; Departement Biologie","FullOrigName":"Royal Museum for Central Africa; Department Biology","Acronym":"KMMA"},"institutes":[{"Acronym":"KMMA","InsID":12098,"FullStandardName":"Koninklijk Museum voor Midden Afrika; Afrikaanse Zoölogie; Afdeling invertebraten niet-insecten","FullTitle":"Koninklijk Museum voor Midden Afrika; Afrikaanse Zoölogie; Afdeling invertebraten niet-insecten"},{"Acronym":"KMMA","InsID":4697,"FullStandardName":"Koninklijk Museum voor Midden Afrika; Afrikaanse Zoölogie; Afdeling Vertebraten","FullTitle":"Koninklijk Museum voor Midden Afrika; Afrikaanse Zoölogie; Afdeling Vertebraten"}],"references":[{"BRefID":437528,"RR":"<b>Jorissen, M.W.P.; Vanschoenwinkel, B.; Pariselle, A.; Artois, T.; Danadu, C.; Huyse, T.; Kapepula Kasembele, G.; Muterezi Bukinga, F.; Šimková, A.; Snoeks, J.; Van Sever, W.; Vreven, E.J.; Wamuini Lunkayilakio, S.; Vanhove, M.P.M.</b> (2025).
