Welcome to Zoology
Zoology is the integrative study of animal biology. Research and teaching in this department explores a wide range of biological questions in a diverse array of species, using cutting edge techniques in both the field and the laboratory. We are unified by an emphasis on integration across levels of biological organization, and by our recognition of the explanatory power of evolutionary theory in understanding biological complexity. This integrative perspective helps unify researchers in modern biological subdisciplines, including cellular and developmental biology, neurobiology, animal behavior, ecology, evolution, and environmental science.

Zoology is the branch of natural science that deals with the integrative study of animal biology. Research and coursework explores a wide range of biological questions in a diverse array of species, using cutting edge techniques in both the field and the laboratory. We are unified by an emphasis on research that integrates across levels of biological organization, and by our recognition of the explanatory power of evolutionary theory in understanding the complexity of organisms and ecosystems. Our undergraduate and graduate programs offer students a broad education in biology as well as opportunies to specialize in the particular aspects of zoology that interest them most.
