Welcome to the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology!

Welcome to the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Bruin Bound site!

Are you curious about the world around you? Do you ever wonder why animals and other living organisms react to certain stimuli the way they do? Are you interested in behavior, biodiversity, ecology, conservation biology, evolution, marine biology, plant biology, paleobiology, physiology or tropical biology?

Our undergraduates engage in a wide variety of research projects and learning experiences which explore these areas and disciplines. Our students have traveled to Africa, South and Central America, and French Polynesia, among other locations, to conduct research and to experience life as a field or marine biologist. Many of our students have gone on to become successful figures in U.S. government, in the medical and health care field, as well as in the world of academia.
