Ecology, Evolution & Conservation

What will you study?

From molecules to ecosystems, all living systems show the traces of their evolutionary history. Ecology provides the context for this history by helping us to understand how organisms interact with each other and the environment.

Biologists in Training or Registered Professional Biologists (RPBio, College of Applied Biology): the EEC concentration meets the academic requirements for this professional certification.

Learn more about these interactions by exploring questions such as:

• How do organisms make decisions that affect their growth, reproduction, and survival?
• Why do organisms form social groups?
• How did humans evolve?
• How do  human activities  impact our environment and what can we do to prevent the loss of biodiversity and manage species at risk.
