The graduate program in Ecology, Evolution & Behavior is composed of 18 faculty members that share a fundamental interest in ecological and evolutionary processes.

The EEB faculty has a diverse range of research interests. These include: behavioral ecology, community ecology, ecosystem ecology, evolutionary ecology, life history evolution, molecular evolution, physiological ecology, plant-animal interactions, population ecology, sexual selection and systematics. EEB is particularly strong in the study of plant-animal interactions, behavioral ecology and evolutionary genetics.

Our goal is to develop broadly trained biologists that have both the conceptual tools and expertise in research design necessary to address fundamental ecological and evolutionary questions. To meet this goal, our graduate curriculum includes a series of core courses for first year students, advanced courses in areas of faculty expertise, a seminar series that focuses on research design (BIOS 916), and a seminar series that focuses on completed research.
