Ecology and Evolution Research Group

Ecology and Evolution consists of a dozen or so academics and their research groups who together study the interface of organisms with their environment. These interactions naturally encompass and shape populations and ecological communities and explain patterns of long-term genetic adaptation. We work on systems as diverse as Andean mountain grasslands and inter-tidal rock pools in Plymouth, and organisms ranging from microbes to leopards.

We welcome formal and informal enquiries from prospective postgraduate students, post-doctoral researchers, visiting academics and industry/end-user partners to work with us at Plymouth. Please contact research group leader, Dr Chiara Boschetti for further details.
