Understanding the complexities of ecosystems and the organisms living in those systems is a central theme in a number of the research labs within our department.  Working with a multitude of organisms and a diverse array of ecosystems, the research faculty of Integrative Biology combine cutting edge technology and theoretical modelling to uncover the fundamental principles that shape the living world around us.
