Overview

Our aim in the Biological Sciences (Evolution, Ecology and Behaviour) programme from University of Liverpool is to go beyond description of these patterns - we wish to understand the ecological and evolutionary factors that drive them.

Features

We work with viruses, bacteria, fungi, animals, insects, plants and humans using state-of-the-art technologies and mathematical models to understand the principles that underlie biological diversity.

Our PhD programme is financed by substantial training grants from the main UK government research councils, including the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, the Natural Environment Research Council and The Medical Research Council, as well as charitable trusts, overseas governments and industrial collaborators.
