《生态与进化生物学径论》关注地球生命的多样性，包括基因，生理和行为的多样性。当植物，动物和微生物适应环境并彼此适应时，学生将学习这种多样性是如何产生的。该领域内整合了多种科学学科，包括生态学，有机生物学，生理学，遗传学，进化论，保护生物学和行为学。攻读生态学和进化论的生物学学位将使学生为生命科学的职业做好准备，无论他们是想对进化过程有深入的了解，还是对生物体与环境之间的相互作用感兴趣。这可以帮助学生为以下领域的职业做好准备：1.保护和恢复生物学-解决气候变化的影响，制定栖息地保护和野生动植物保护计划，或其
The Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Track focuses on the diversity of life on Earth, including diversity in genes, physiology, and behaviors. Students will learn about how this diversity emerged, as plants, animals, and microbes became adapted to the environment and to each other. A wide variety of scientific disciplines are integrated within the track, including ecology, organismal biology, physiology, genetics, evolution, conservation biology, and behavior. A degree in biology with an emphasis in Ecology and Evolution will prepare students for a career in the life sciences, whether they are interested in having a deep understanding of evolutionary process, or are interested in the interactions between organisms and their environment. This can help prepare students for careers in areas such as: 1. conservation and restoration biology-addressing the impacts of climate change, developing plans for habitat conservation and wildlife protection, or other issues critical to maintaining a healthy planet, 2. working as a doctor or veterinarian, 3. science education-educating students and the public on the history and diversity of life on earth and the need to conserve it, 4. basic research in biology-helping to expand the frontiers of knowledge by studying the evolution of organisms and their ecosystems.
