Welcome to the Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology
Our faculty is a mix of internationally known senior researchers and an energetic group of junior faculty at the cutting edges of their fields.
We train graduate and undergraduate students with research interests in ecology, evolutionary biology, animal behavior, conservation biology, behavioral and population genetics, computational, theoretical and ecology and evolution, ecosystem and community ecology, global change biology, and diverse areas of organismal biology.
