Requirements for Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Emphasis Track
The Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB) emphasis track prepares students for careers in biology that require a comprehensive understanding of biological processes, ranging across the organismal, population, community, ecosystem, and global levels. Ecology and Evolutionary Biology incorporates multidisciplinary approaches to address biological questions within an evolutionary framework. Current course offerings introduce students to active areas of research in EEB at UC Merced, such as: agroecology, behavioral ecology, biomechanics, comparative anatomy and physiology, conservation biology, community ecology, developmental genetics, ecological modeling, ecosystem ecology, ecological model ling genomics and genome evolution, population genetics, microbial ecology, molecular evolution, organismal interactions, paleo-biology/ecology, phylogenetics and systematics, plant biology, population genetics, quantitative genetics, and symbiosis.
