进化，生态与种群生物学哲学博士

进化生物学研究物种的起源和后裔及其随时间的变化和适应。生态学涉及活生物体的分布和丰富度以及这些因素如何受到生物体与其环境之间相互作用的影响的研究。种群生物学涉及物种种群的动态及其与环境的相互作用。进化，生态与人口生物学研究生课程在进化和生态时间尺度上研究生物多样性的起源和维持。该计划将现场研究与分子遗传学，统计学，大规模基因组学，定量遗传学和数学理论的技术进步相结合，以了解进化史和环境生物学。该计划的研究非常多样化。研究生物包括模型系统，例如酵母，果蝇，拟南芥和双歧杆菌，人类种群，农业物种以及各种自然动植
Evolutionary biology studies the origin and descent of species and their change and adaptation over time. Ecology involves the study of the distribution and abundance of living organisms and how those factors are affected by interactions between the organisms and their environments. Population biology involves the dynamics of species populations and how they interact with the environment. The Graduate Program in Evolution, Ecology & Population Biology studies the origins and maintenance of biodiversity on both evolutionary and ecological timescales. The Program combines field studies with the technical advances of molecular genetics, statistics, large-scale genomics, quantitative genetics, and mathematical theory to gain an understanding of evolutionary history and environmental biology. Research in the Program is extremely diverse. Study organisms include model systems such as yeast, Drosophila, Arabidopsis, and Dictyostelium, human populations, agricultural species, and various natural plant and animal populations. Areas of research include:
