The graduate program in 生态 和 进化生物学—a concentration in the 生物科学 graduate programs—brings together researchers 和 students interested in biodiversity research. This includes the hierarchy of biological organization, from genes to species to ecosystems. Investigations are wide ranging 和 encompass all manner of biological pattern 和 process. Examples include studies of organismal structure 和 function, natural 和 sexual selection, 适应, 行为, evolutionary genetics, 种群生物学, 团体动力学, 物种的形成, 系统发生学, 保护生物学, 古生物学, 和 the history of life on earth.
The 生态 和 进化生物学 graduate program combines faculty from the departments of 生物科学 和 Biomedical Sciences. This program is part of the Ohio Center for 生态 & 进化的研究, which is an integrative collection of ecology 和 evolutionary biology faculty 和 students assembled from diverse departments 和 colleges across campus.
研究生 项目 in 生态 & 进化生物学
Students entering this program can pursue a master's or doctoral degree. A vital component of a student's training is interaction 和 collaboration. Students entering the 生态 和 进化生物学 concentration should thus consider themselves colleagues in the EEB focus group 和 take an active role in the program. The student's adviser will help in the formulation of a thesis or dissertation project, but the student is expected to take a lead role in identifying a topic appropriate for research.
