Their research spans cytogenetics, taxonomic studies, and geometric morphometrics of beetles, particularly Cerambycidae and Cicindelidae. Key projects include Wolbachia endosymbiont screening and biogeographic analysis of chromosome evolution in Dorcadionini. They have advised Master’s theses, such as Miyase Aslantaş’s work on Cerambycidae cytogenetics.
Recent publications highlight trends in Coleoptera taxonomy, cytogenetics, and morphometric variation, with a focus on Turkish endemic species. Collaborations include researchers like Yavuz Koçak, Hüseyin Özdikmen, and Aslı Doğan Sarıkaya.
