Biological Sciences - Behavior, 生态, 进化 & 分类学
概述
学生们, 教师, and post-doctoral fellows that comprise the Behavior, 生态, 进化, and 分类学 (BEES) section focus on research questions that range widely over the disciplines of ecology, 进化, 行为, 生理学, 和系统学.
我们强调综合, collaborative approach to research not only among the members of the BEES section, but also with members of the other sections in the 生物科学学院 and with 教师 and students at other universities. 研究 within the BEES is conducted across different levels of biological organization, 从基因到个体, 从人口到社区. We address fundamental questions concerning the nature of 进化ary change, interactions between organisms and their environment, the distribution and abundance of living things, and the conservation of organisms and restoration of their ecosystems.
