Overview

About the department

Scientists and PhD-students at the Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences work with questions that in one way or the other relate to plants and animals, and the environments in which they live. It spans from what happens within a single cell and how individuals from different species are built and function, to relationship between species and how populations interact with each other and their environment.

Research at the University of Gothenburg also includes questions about how factors in the surroundings and not least changes in the environment affect living organisms - here we study anything from chemical and physical factors, nutrients or population density to climate change and environmental pollutions.
