Native species research focuses on studying and understanding the characteristics, biology, and ecological role of plant and animal species that are indigenous to a particular area or region. This type of research often involves assessing the population dynamics, habitat requirements, and interactions with other species of native plants and animals. Researchers may also investigate the conservation status of native species and the potential threats they face, such as habitat loss, invasive species, and climate change. Overall, native species research aims to promote the conservation and sustainable management of biodiversity in natural ecosystems.
