Departments
The museum has four scientific departments — Palaeontology and Mineralogy, Botany, Invertebrates, and Vertebrates. The dominant part of the scientific activities is devoted to the animal world. Particular attention is paid to the biodiversity of Bulgaria and the neighbouring countries and to the description of new taxa from many countries all over the world.
Palaeontology and Mineralogy Department
Head of Department: Georgi Markov, Assoc. Prof. Dr
Fossil mammals and birds of Bulgaria and the world are the subject of palaeontological investigations. The mineralogical studies cover pegmatite mineralisations in intrusives of non-granite composition and metamorphites…
Botany Department
Studies are carried out in the fields of chorology, systematics, taxonomy, phytogeography, ecology and physiology of some plant species in Bulgaria…
Botany Laboratory
Head: Irina Gerasimova, MSc, botanist
Invertebrates Department
Head of Department: Rostislav Bekchiev, Assoc. Prof. Dr
Research is carried out in the fields of taxonomy, faunistics, zoogeography, phylogeny, morphology and ecology of mites, pseudoscorpions, centipedes, millipedes and insects…
Entomology Laboratory
Head: Nikolay Simov, Assoc. Prof. Dr
Vertebrates Department
Head of Department: Tihomir Stefanov, Assoc. Prof. Dr
Studies are conducted in terms of species diversity, distribution, morphology, biology, ecology, phylogeny and conservation value of vertebrates…
Laboratory for molecular taxonomy and ecology
Head: Iva Karaivanova
