Requirements for Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Emphasis Track
The Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB) emphasis track prepares students for careers in areas of biology that lead to a more comprehensive understanding of biological processes that range across the mechanistic, organismal, population, community and ecosystem levels. Ecology and Evolutionary Biology incorporates multidisciplinary approaches to address biological questions in an evolutionary framework. Areas of research in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology include behavioral ecology, biomechanics, comparative anatomy and physiology, conservation biology, developmental genetics, ecology, population genetics, plant biology, molecular evolution, organismal interactions (e.g., plant-animal), paleobiology, phylogenetics, quantitative genetics and systematics.
