Ecology and evolutionary biology (EEB) explores the beginnings, variety, and spread of living organisms. Evolution shapes all life forms. Every biological discipline, along with responsible management of Earth's biodiversity, relies on comprehending what drives the emergence and persistence of biological diversity across all scales - from genetic codes to entire ecosystems. Grasping EEB principles enables societies to make educated choices regarding sustainable practices, climate shifts, non-native species, natural resource use, biodiversity conservation, genetic variation, ecosystem health, resistance to chemicals and medicines, and new disease threats.
Learners studying these topics discover that life's ecological and evolutionary foundations present fascinating scientific questions that are both mentally stimulating and vital for humanity's tomorrow. EEB alumni pursue rewarding careers in data analysis, scientific investigation, medical fields, government agencies such as MNR and DFO, environmental organizations, consulting companies, and various other sectors. Belonging to one of the globe's top-ranked and Canada's most extensive EEB departments, our students gain exceptional opportunities to strengthen their scientific understanding as tomorrow's policymakers and innovators.
The Ecology & Evolutionary Biology Specialist program (12.0 credits) delivers comprehensive knowledge about ecological and evolutionary principles and life's diversity (microorganisms, fungi, plants, animals). Instruction employs diverse methods including molecular analysis, lab experiments, computational modeling, and outdoor investigations. A key component involves undertaking original research projects in labs or natural settings. The curriculum strongly emphasizes practical lab and field experiences that reinforce theoretical concepts from lectures. Participants can focus their studies on ecology, evolutionary biology, or behavioral science.
