Biological Sciences Ecology and Evolutionary Biology - Clemson University

Biological Sciences Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from Clemson University is a Campus Master Ecology degree that prepares you for a Science career. Scientists studying ecology and evolutionary biology address fundamental questions about the natural world such as: How do plants and animals interact with one another and with features of their environments? How do plants and animals adapt to differing environments? How do new species arise and how is biodiversity maintained? How do organisms function in different habitats? Why do organisms have particular forms and behaviors? What are the phylogenetic relationships among different groups of organisms? Principles and studies in ecology and evolutionary biology are at the forefront of environmental research today and have made important contributions to applied fields of biology such as biotechnology, conservation biology, environmental biology , and the health and agricultural sciences. New students beginning their studies in ecology and evolutionary biology must therefore learn theory and techniques from a broad range of biological disciplines including Animal Behavior, Biomechanics and Functional Morphology, Conservation Biology , Ecology, Evolution, Population Genetics and Phylogenetics. The department of Biological Sciences at Clemson University has a growing number of faculty with research interests in these areas who support graduate students in the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology emphasis area.
