生态与进化哲学博士

史托尼布鲁克的生态与进化系和生态与进化研究生计划（GPEE）是美国的首个此类单位，并已成为许多其他机构中相应单位的榜样。位于斯托尼布鲁克的GPEE学院包括国家科学院的一名成员，生态学，进化论和系统学领域的几位国家和国际社会的前任主席，以及这些学科中有影响力的著作的作者。自成立以来，该计划一直强调整合生态学和进化生物学的概念。GPEE的教职员工和研究生正在长岛及全球范围内进行研究，包括阿拉斯加，美国大陆，加勒比海，墨西哥，中南美洲，非洲和南极洲。他们研究包括各种各样的类群的陆地，淡水和海洋生物，包括鱼类，两
The Department of Ecology and Evolution and the Graduate Program in Ecology and Evolution (GPEE) at Stony Brook were the first such units in the United States and have served as models for corresponding units at many other institutions. The Faculty of the GPEE at Stony Brook includes one member of the National Academy of Sciences, several past presidents of national and international societies in ecology, evolution, and systematics, and authors of influential books in these disciplines. Since its inception, the program has emphasized the integration of concepts from ecology and evolutionary biology. The faculty and the graduate students in GPEE are engaged in research on Long Island and around the world, including Alaska, the continental US, the Caribbean, Mexico, Central and South America, Africa, and Antarctica. They study terrestrial, freshwater, and marine organisms comprising a wide range of taxa, including fish, amphibians, reptiles, primates, birds, mollusks, insects, vascular plants, fungi, and bacteria. Their research incorporates experimental, comparative, theoretical, and statistical approaches and utilize field, laboratory, and literature survey studies. Research in GPEE includes interspecific interactions, geographical variation and phylogeography, population genetics, experimental evolution, evolutionary genomics, molecular evolution, evolutionary developmental biology, phylogenetics, population dynamics, biological invasions, phenotypic plasticity, ecosystem ecology and paleontology. Many faculty members are active in the application of their research to problems in conservation.
