动物学理学硕士

我们的课程强调整合生物学，其整合是通过关注进化生物学和生态学提供的理论基础来完成的。我们的教职员工在生态学，进化，行为，比较和环境生理学，遗传学，发育和系统发育学方面拥有专业知识。我们在各种陆地和水生环境和地理区域（从亚极到热带）以及各种生物（包括植物）中开展工作。我们的教师重视综合研究（例如，通过从基因表达到物种相互作用的跨组织层次），将理论与数据联系起来（通过使用统计和数学工具），并利用自然历史来指导严格概念框架的开发和测试。我们的许多教师也对在应用环境中应用和测试基础科学感兴趣（例如，保护生物学和生
Our program emphasizes Integrative Biology, with integration accomplished through a focus on the theoretical foundations provided by evolutionary biology and ecology. Our faculty has expertise in ecology, evolution, behavior, comparative and environmental physiology, genetics, development, and phylogenetics. We work in a variety of terrestrial and aquatic environments and geographic regions (tropics through subpolar), and on a range of organisms (including plants). Our faculty value integrative research (e.g., by crossing levels of organization from gene expressions to species interactions), linking theory with data (through use of statistical and mathematical tools), and using natural history to guide the development and testing of rigorous conceptual frameworks. Many of our faculty also are interested in applying and testing basic science in applied contexts (e.g., conservation biology and ecotoxicology).
