About Ecology and Evolutionary Biology
The Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (E&EB) has a distinguished faculty of 32 whose interests range from population and community ecology to biogeochemistry and ecosystems to evolutionary biology and genetics. The Department, part of both the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and the College of Arts and Sciences, has a broad but unified mission in teaching and research: broad in that the interests of the faculty span many levels of organization encompassing genes, genotypes, phenotypes, populations, communities, and ecosystems; and unified in that each of these levels interacts with all of the others. Detailed appreciation of the processes operating at all levels of organization is fundamental to ecological or evolutionary understanding.
