Overview

Features

We have a highly interactive group of faculty and students. Opportunities for informal discussions and socialization between graduate students and faculty abound at weekly meetings of the E & E Journal Club and our Ecology and Evolution Seminar, as well as other informal journal clubs.
Facilities useful for members of the Ecology and Evolution group at the University of Pittsburgh include a modern greenhouse complex, growth chambers for conducting controlled environment experiments, a molecular ecology laboratory, GIS equipment, a microscopy and imaging facility, and an animal care facility.
Our campus facilities are greatly enhanced by the laboratories, field sites and research facilities at our department’s field station, The Pymatuning Laboratory of Ecology. In the summer months, the vibrant community of Ecologists and Evolutionary biologists from our university is joined by faulty and students from many other institutions.
