Systematics, Ecology and Evolution
The varied interests of the 30 SEE faculty and adjuncts, their 55+ graduate students, and several postdoctoral research associates facilitate advanced study of ecological and evolutionary processes involving a broad range of organisms and habitats.
- SEE graduate students have access to modern, well-equipped facilities for data collection and analysis
- Research within SEE is supported by grants from several national funding agencies
- Results are regularly published in premier international scientific journals
- Several members of the group serve as editors or editorial board members of important journals and are high office holders in several societies
