Ecology and Evolution

Ecology and Evolution research within the Department of Geology ranges from the paleobiology of graptolites to the population genetics of modern coral reef invertebrates. The research foci of our faculty are on studies of marine and aquatic invertebrates and the ecological and evolutionary scale interactions between the environment and morphological, physiological and genetic traits.

Students interested in ecology and evolution research with our faculty, can pursue M.A., M.S. or Ph.D. degrees through programs within the Department of Geological Sciences or M.S. or Ph.D. degrees through the interdisciplinary Graduate Program in Evolution, Ecology and Behavior.
