Research


From the lab to the field, research in the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB) Department spans the full range of biological organization from molecules to ecosystems. We recognize three sub-areas of research within EEB: Ecology and Global Change Biology, Evolutionary Mechanisms, and Biodiversity and Macroevolution, with much overlap and collaboration among and between research areas.
