Overview
Ecologists can research interactions between species and between species and their environments that influence abundance and distribution. Address climate change adaptation, design of habitat networks and agri-environment schemes.
Features
- Evolutionary biologists will use modern analytical tools to research the evolution of plants, animals and microbes.
- in the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology programme from University of Reading , we’re developing new methods to incorporate fossils and geographic data into phylogenies, detect natural selection on phenotypes and probe gene network evolution and adaptive landscapes.
