Research Themes

Behavioral Ecology (Integrative Animal Behavior)
– the study of the evolutionary basis for animal behavior due to ecological pressures

Community Ecology
– the study of how populations of species organize and interact with each other and the environment

Conservation Biology/Restoration Ecology
– the study of biodiversity and how to sustainably protect, manage, and restore degraded habitats

Ecosystems/Landscape Ecology
– the study of the dynamics of ecological processes through time across a variety of spatial scales

Evolutionary Ecology
– the study of interactions between organisms and their environments from an evolutionary perspective

Evolutionary Genomics
– the study of genome evolution

Phylogenetics & Comparative Biology
– the study of evolutionary relationships among organisms, and the mechanisms and patterns that drive the evolution of those relationships

Physiological Ecology
– the study of relationships between the physiology of organisms and their adaptation to environmental conditions

Population & Quantitative Genetics
– the study of genetic differences within and between populations and assessment of variability of continuous phenotypes

Population Ecology
– the study of population dynamics over space and time and how populations interact with the environment
