Conservation Biology Graduate Program

MU's Conservation Biology program provides graduate students with a comprehensive foundation in the basic theory of population biology,

ecological genetics, community ecology, conservation biology, ecotoxicology, and statistics along with applied interdisciplinary experience in conservation biology. This, coupled with collaborative research, prepares our graduates as the future leaders in research as well as service in a broad range of academic, governmental, and foundation positions in conservation-related fields.

Cottonwood Ecology

The Cottonwood Ecology Group is an interdisciplinary research team composed of scientists from Northern Arizona University,

Evergreen State College, West Virginia University, The University of Tennessee-Knoxville and The University of Wisconsin-Madison. Emphasizing the need to understand how genetic variation in primary producers structures communities, affects species distribution, and alters ecosystem-level processes, current research focuses on the interactive effect of genetics and hybrid fitness in cottonwoods, arthropod diversity and community structure, plant defensive chemistry, and evolution.
