About us...
We are an interdisciplinary department specializing in ecology, evolution, and natural resource conservation. Our teaching and research focus on issues of global change including managing natural resources within urban ecosystems, studying the evolutionary origins and maintenance of biodiversity, and conserving and restoring native ecosystems. Our research interests cross all biological scales from microbes to ecosystems. We are also committed to working with the public through education, outreach, and extension.

Ecology: Study of the interactions between organisms and their environment.

Evolution: Study of how organisms change over time through natural selection and the creation and extinction of biodiversity.

Natural Resource Conservation: Study of the phenomena that affect the maintenance, loss, and restoration of native biological diversity and other natural resources
