Why choose this programme option?

Studies in ecology and evolution is about understanding both large and small ecosystems on earth, and the species living within these, change over time.

How do different cod stocks change with fishing regimes, management, and climate changes? Do birds change behavior when their natural habitats are regulated by humans? Knowledge of the interrelationships in nature, previously and today, is important to help conserve the world’s ecosystems and the living conditions for the future.

The programme option Ecology and Evolution is a good choice if you are interested in the following topics:

  • the biological consequences of climate changes and other man-made environmental changes
  • how natural selection shapes organisms to survive and reproduce under variable conditions
  • how the environment influences the distribution of different species, population dynamics, and evolution
  • how we can map and conserve biological and genetic diversity on earth
