Founded in 1975, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB) was the first department of its kind in the world, pioneering a model for the organization of biology that is now in use in many of the world's leading universities.

We are the primary home of basic ecological and evolutionary education and research on campus. Our focus is broad, spanning levels of organization from molecular genetics and organismal function as they relate to evolution and ecology, from population and community ecology to biological diversity, phylogeny and macroevolution. Our methods involve..
