Ecology and Evolutionary
专业介绍
The Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology embraces education and research on virtually all aspects of biodiversity, including:
- origins and history of species ranging from bacteria to humans
- processes by which this diversity has evolved
- ecological context in which this evolution takes place
These basic sciences underlie some of the most important applied sciences in the world today, such as:
- global climate change
- sustainable agriculture
- emergence and spread of infectious diseases
- invasive and exotic species
- conservation biology
- natural resource management
- evolution of pesticide and antibiotic resistance
