Natural and Anthropogenic environmental changes impact on biological systems at all levels from molecular processes within individuals through to large scale alterations in the global ecosystem. Our research covers all these scales; deals with plants, animals and micro-organisms; and examines the ecology of terrestrial, freshwater and marine systems. It involves work both on fundamental ecological principles, and on applied and management questions. Our activities focus in two broad areas:
More detail on our work is on our individual staff pages. Research in ecology and evolutionary biology also takes place in the School of Biological Sciences. The Centre for Ecology, Evolution and Conservation (CEEC) coordinates these research and teaching activities within UEA and our collaborations with the John Innes Centre and The Genome Analysis Centre form part of the Earth and Life Systems Alliance (ELSA). We also collaborate with a number of external research organisations, including the British Trust for Ornithology, the RSPB, CEFAS and the Plymouth Marine Laboratory.
We take on a number of research students every year and contribute to the teaching of the MSc in Applied Ecology and Conservation. We welcome enquiries from potential PhD applicants and visitors – please contact staff working in your field of interest to discuss opportunities.
Members of faculty contribute to editing several scientific journals, including: Plant Species Biology, PloS Biology, Biotropica, Nature and Society, Primates, Natureza & Sociedade, Ecology and Society, and Frontiers in Ecology and Environment.
