Overview

This Biology programme offered by Anglia Ruskin University focuses on understanding living organisms, ecological interactions, and the processes that shape biodiversity across terrestrial, freshwater, and marine environments. Research spans global change ecology, conservation, behavioural ecology, animal communication, cognition, social behaviour, welfare, and the ecological consequences of climate change, pollution, invasive species, agriculture, and urbanisation.

Key Facts

Candidates undertake interdisciplinary investigation within the Applied Ecology Research Group and the Behavioural Ecology Research Group, using approaches such as ecological network analysis, ecosystem modelling, satellite tracking, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), molecular biology, biogeochemistry, and microbiology. Research may contribute to scientific understanding, conservation practice, environmental policy, and the management of ecosystems and wildlife populations.
