Research at the Department of Ecology and Genetics
We conduct both basic and applied research in the fields of ecology and evolution
Our research programs
Evolutionary Biology
The Evolutionary Biology program conducts research in evolutionary genetics
Limnology
The Limnology program focuses on limnology, the study of inland waters
Plant Ecology and Evolution
The Plant Ecology and Evolution program analyses the structure and dynamics of plant populations and communities
Animal Ecology
The Animal Ecology program studies ecological causes and evolutionary consequences of variation among and within species
