Graduate students, post-docs, and faculty study biological processes ranging from the molecular to the ecosystem level, often bridging the gap between basic and applied research. Our faculty and students conduct research in four broad areas:

Animal Behavior: Behavioral ecology, communication, learningEcology: Community ecology, population ecology, landscape ecology, conservation biologyEvolutionary Biology: Evolution, phylogenetics, population genetics, molecular evolutionOrganismal Biology: Physiology, morphology, paleontology
