about biology, division of integrative biology
Research and teaching in the IB Division emphasizes organismal interactions and adaptations to the environment. We take a modern interdisciplinary approach to understand the interactions at many levels from cells to organisms to populations to communities to landscapes. Faculty research interests include: marine and freshwater ecology; restoration ecology; population ecology; plant-animal interactions; community ecology; plant systematics; conservation biology; ecotoxicology; biomechanics and functional morphology; environmental microbiology; microbial physiology; and gene transfer.
Graduate students working with IB faculty can receive an Masters of Science in Biology, a Masters of Science in Microbiology or Doctor of Philosophy in Biology. Students interested in the graduate studies should contact Dr. Henry Mushinsky, Graduate Program Director. You can use the the Faculty/Research link on the left to view faculty and their research interests.
