The
Ecology faculty in the Department of Biology is a diverse and interactive
group using state of the art techniques to study fundamental ecological
problems in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. The group has a
long, proven track record for obtaining extramural funding. Research
areas include plant and animal physiological/biochemical ecology,
animal behavioral ecology, invasive species ecology, ecological
genetics, and community/ecosystem ecology.
