Members of the Ecology and Evolution programme study the interactions that determine the distribution and abundance of organisms and seek insights that contribute to the understanding, management and conservation of marine and terrestrial populations and communities. Closely integrated with the BIS programme, we represent one of the largest concentrations of internationally recognised ecologists with expertise ranging from individuals, to populations, communities and global processes. This programme comprises four overlapping research groupings: (a) deep ocean biology and (b) population ecology (c) community ecology and (d) conservation ecology.
Evolution and Ecology programme members are one of 6 key partners in UKPopNet– a NERC-funded distributed centre of population biology research.
