Under the UCI BioSci core concept of MIND BODY WORLD, EEB concentrates on the WORLD dimension, exploring how MIND and BODY exist within this framework. Our department investigates the genetic mechanisms behind organisms' adaptation to their environments throughout evolutionary history, and how the resulting biological variety in organismal functions influences contemporary ecological systems. Consequently, EEB faculty examine research topics spanning multiple biological scales, from evolutionary genetics to physiological adaptations and the ecological dynamics of land, freshwater, and marine environments.
