生态科学博士课程的主要目标是提供生态科学方面的高级培训, evolutionary and integrative biology. 该计划在广泛的生物学分支学科中具有显著的优势, including ecosystem studies, experimental ecology, population biology, conservation biology, systematics, evolutionary biology, biomechanics, and comparative and functional morphology. 项目教师在各种陆地上进行研究, freshwater, and marine environments on several continents, and their research focuses on a broad spectrum of taxa, including, but not limited to, vascular plants, polychaetes, mollusks, crustaceans, insects, fishes, amphibians, and reptiles.
Program Highlights
-
该计划通过优秀的校园资源得到加强，包括扫描电子显微镜实验室, sequencing lab, herbarium, aquatics laboratory, water tunnel facility, GIS facilities, greenhouse, and digital imaging facilities. 在弗吉尼亚海岸保护区建立了实地研究地点, Blackwater Ecological Preserve, Great Dismal Swamp, Atlantic Ocean, Chesapeake Bay, and other areas.
-
许多教员将活跃的实地研究与平行的实验室研究结合起来. 鼓励采用定量方法，并有机会在攻读生态科学博士学位的同时获得统计学硕士学位.
