生态与进化生物学哲学博士

生态学和进化生物学涉及在进化时间内建立适应性以及在生态时间内的机体功能。研究在实验室和现场进行，包括对从噬菌体和细菌到高等植物和动物的各种生物的研究。主要关注进化，生态和功能问题，而不是特定的栖息地或生物分类。教师和研究生的研究方法通常是协作和跨学科的。部门的研究活动包括生理生态能量学，植物-草食动物和植物-授粉媒介的相互作用，微生物生态学和协同进化，定量遗传学，生活史演变，种群和生殖生态学，社区生态学和生物地理学。这些研究努力在关于进化，生物和生态问题的经验方法和理论方法之间取得平衡。
Within the UCI BioSci foundational theme of MIND BODY WORLD, EEB focuses on the WORLD and how the MIND and BODY are embedded in this context. Our department studies the molecular basis of how organisms adapt to the natural world over evolutionary time, and how the resultant biological diversity in organismal function affects present-day ecological processes. Accordingly, faculty in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology study questions pertinent at a variety of levels of biological organization, from molecular aspects of evolution to organismal physiology and the ecology of terrestrial, freshwater and ocean ecosystems.<br><br>At UCI, we believe in the infinitely curious. Our students are the tinkerers, the dreamers, and the courageous of thought. They are inspiring, motivated, and care about the world around them. And they arent afraid to fail, because they dare to go where others wont. If this sounds a lot like you, then you need to be here making a difference too. Youll fit in just by being you.
