Prof. Missoup is an integrative systematist specializing in molecular phylogenetics, biogeography, and African tropical biodiversity. His research explores species delimitation, evolutionary diversification, and the complex relationships between biodiversity, conservation, and health. Building on extensive studies of African small mammals, he integrates morphological, molecular, ecological, and biogeographical approaches to investigate patterns and processes shaping biological diversity. His research has progressively expanded to include diverse taxonomic groups, conservation genetics, wildlife trade traceability, and zoonotic disease surveillance within a One Health framework. Through this multidisciplinary approach, Prof. Missoup contributes to advancing knowledge of evolutionary processes, biodiversity assessment, and the development of science-based strategies for conservation and public health. His work bridges fundamental research and applied solutions, supporting sustainable management of biological resources and strengthening understanding of the links between ecosystems, wildlife, and human well-being.
