About the course

Evolution, a process that connects all living organisms, is defined quite simply as a ?change in genetic material over time?. This process can be modeled with computers, measured in experimental settings and observed in the wild. Research in the biology department encompasses all of these approaches, with field studies of divergence and speciation in birds and fish, laboratory studies of aging and parasitism in fruit flies and computer simulations of primordial life, to name just a few. Students participating in the Evolution, Ecology and Behavior (EEB) area of specialization will carry out their thesis research in one of these fascinating areas.
